 ### `SEND_STRING()` & `process_record_user`
 
+See also: [Send String](feature_send_string.md)
+
 Sometimes you want a key to type out words or phrases. For the most common situations, we've provided `SEND_STRING()`, which will type out a string (i.e. a sequence of characters) for you. All ASCII characters that are easily translatable to a keycode are supported (e.g. `qmk 123\n\t`).
 
 Here is an example `keymap.c` for a two-key keyboard:

+# Send String
+
+The Send String API is part of QMK's macro system. It allows for sequences of keystrokes to be sent automatically.
+
+The full ASCII character set is supported, along with all of the keycodes in the Basic Keycode range (as these are the only ones that will actually be sent to the host).
+
+?> Unicode characters are **not** supported with this API -- see the [Unicode](feature_unicode.md) feature instead.
+
+## Usage
+
+Send String is enabled by default, so there is usually no need for any special setup. However, if it is disabled, add the following to your `rules.mk`:
+
+```make
+SEND_STRING_ENABLE = yes
+```
+
+## Basic Configuration
+
+Add the following to your `config.h`:
+
+|Define           |Default         |Description                                                                                                 |
+|-----------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+|`SENDSTRING_BELL`|*Not defined*   |If the [Audio](feature_audio.md) feature is enabled, the `\a` character (ASCII `BEL`) will beep the speaker.|
+|`BELL_SOUND`     |`TERMINAL_SOUND`|The song to play when the `\a` character is encountered. By default, this is an eighth note of C5.          |
+
+## Keycodes
+
+The Send String functions accept C string literals, but specific keycodes can be injected with the below macros. All of the keycodes in the [Basic Keycode range](keycodes_basic.md) are supported (as these are the only ones that will actually be sent to the host), but with an `X_` prefix instead of `KC_`.
+
+|Macro         |Description                                                        |
+|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
+|`SS_TAP(x)`   |Send a keydown, then keyup, event for the given Send String keycode|
+|`SS_DOWN(x)`  |Send a keydown event for the given Send String keycode             |
+|`SS_UP(x)`    |Send a keyup event for the given Send String keycode               |
+|`SS_DELAY(ms)`|Wait for `ms` milliseconds                                         |
+
+The following characters are also mapped to their respective keycodes for convenience:
+
+|Character|Hex   |ASCII|Keycode       |
+|---------|------|-----|--------------|
+|`\b`     |`\x08`|`BS` |`KC_BACKSPACE`|
+|`\e`     |`\x09`|`ESC`|`KC_ESCAPE`   |
+|`\n`     |`\x0A`|`LF` |`KC_ENTER`    |
+|`\t`     |`\x1B`|`TAB`|`KC_TAB`      |
+|         |`\x7F`|`DEL`|`KC_DELETE`   |
+
+### Language Support
+
+By default, Send String assumes your OS keyboard layout is set to US ANSI. If you are using a different keyboard layout, you can [override the lookup tables used to convert ASCII characters to keystrokes](reference_keymap_extras.md#sendstring-support).
+
+## Examples
+
+### Hello World
+
+A simple custom keycode which types out "Hello, world!" and the Enter key when pressed.
+
+Add the following to your `keymap.c`:
+
+```c
+bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
+    switch (keycode) {
+        case SS_HELLO:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                SEND_STRING("Hello, world!\n");
+            }
+            return false;
+    }
+
+    return true;
+}
+```
+
+### Keycode Injection
+
+This example types out opening and closing curly braces, then taps the left arrow key to move the cursor between the two.
+
+```c
+SEND_STRING("{}" SS_TAP(X_LEFT));
+```
+
+This example types Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C, without releasing Ctrl.
+
+```c
+SEND_STRING(SS_LCTL("ac"));
+```
+
