## Overview
A sensor is any channel you use to get content into MindLi.
The more sensors you activate, the less friction between a thought and a Spark — so you capture more, lose less, and keep your thinking flowing.
All Sparks land in your **Inbox**, regardless of which sensor adds them.
***
## WhatsApp
The fastest sensor. Send anything to MindLi's number — **+1 (209) 717 7762** — and it becomes a Spark.
Supports: text, URLs, images, voice notes, and files. Captions on media become the Spark's content.
**Setup:** > ** Settings** > **Add** > Add Spark with WhatsApp
Save the number as **"MindLi Add Spark"** in your contacts so you can forward to it from any conversation in seconds.
See the full [WhatsApp Sensor](/get-started/patterns/whatsapp-sensor) article for tips on forwarding and captions.
***
## Chrome / Edge Extension
Capture any webpage as a Spark while you browse — without switching apps.
Also required for Split View to load web content inside MindLi.
**Install:** [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lkaanmelncdcpikhjpadjkegioolpdeb) — pin the extension so it's always one click away.
***
## Mobile Share Sheet
On iOS and Android, use the native **Share** button in any app to send content directly to MindLi.
Works for links, text, images, and files shared from your browser, notes app, photos, or anywhere else.
No setup needed — MindLi appears in your device's share sheet once the app is installed.
***
## Email (Labs)
Send or forward any email to **[addspark@mindli.com](mailto:addspark@mindli.com)** and it becomes a Spark.
Supports: text body and one attached file or image.
By default, MindLi accepts mail from the email address you signed up with. You can approve additional addresses in Settings.
**Setup:** > ** Settings** > **Add** > Labs - Email
Email is a Labs feature — it works well but may evolve. It's especially useful for forwarding newsletters, receipts, or research you want to keep.
***
## Manual Add
Create a Spark directly inside MindLi at any time.
** > ADD > New Spark** — type a note, paste a URL, or upload a file.
Use this when you're already in MindLi and want to add something without switching context.
