Installation guide

  1. Download the ZIP and extract it into a permanent folder.
  2. In a normal desktop Chrome window, paste chrome://extensions into the address bar.
  3. Enable Developer mode, click Load unpacked and choose the folder directly containing manifest.json.
  4. Click the extensions puzzle icon, find Ecoutia Connect and optionally pin it. Click its icon to open the sidebar.
  5. Click Authorize Connect in the sidebar, sign in to Ecoutia and confirm access. Your Chrome / Gmail account is separate from your Ecoutia account.
  6. Create a customer in Workspace. Select text on an authorized ordinary web page, click Read current selection, review the preview, choose your customer and confirm saving.
chrome://extensions

Choose the extracted folder, not the ZIP or manifest file. Keep the folder in place and Developer mode enabled. Extracting the ZIP alone does not install it. No Node.js or API key is needed.

What you authorize

activeTab and scripting read the current page only after your action; storage keeps the local session and pending preview; identity connects your Ecoutia account; sidePanel displays the interface. Saved content goes to Ecoutia only when you confirm. No automatic sending or mailbox scanning.

Supported scope

Manual selected text: implemented in the development build. Gmail: only loaded, expanded text messages, experimental. WhatsApp Web: loaded messages only with manually confirmed source identity, experimental. Real Chrome / account acceptance of 0.4.0 remains pending.

Updates and troubleshooting

To update, pause Connect, replace the files in the same folder, click Reload in the extensions page and refresh the source web page. If blocked, use a normal Chrome profile; organization policy may require IT approval. On mobile or other browsers, open this guide on desktop Chrome; Workspace remains accessible.
