Get started with the Chrome extension

Capture your first page in a couple of minutes

This guide walks you through installing the extension and capturing your first web page into a draft. Each step takes a few seconds — by the end you’ll have an editable draft on your site.

1. Install from your account

Open your ComStack account, go to the Connectors tab, and download the Chrome extension. Unzip it, then in Chrome open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top right), click Load unpacked, and select the unzipped folder.

The extension isn’t in the Chrome Web Store yet, so it installs manually. Your Connectors tab always has the latest version.

2. Pin it to your toolbar

After installing, click the puzzle-piece Extensions icon in Chrome’s toolbar, find ComStack, and click the pin. The ComStack icon now stays in your toolbar, so you can open and close the panel with one click whenever you need it.

3. Open the side panel and sign in

Click the ComStack icon. The side panel opens on the right. The first time, click Continue with Google and sign in with the same account you use for ComStack.

4. Go to the page you want to capture

In your main browser window, navigate to the page you want to bring into your site — a property listing, a product page, an article. The extension reads whatever is open in the active tab, so this works even on pages behind a login.

5. Check your project and template

In the panel, confirm the project you’re capturing into. If you only have one, it’s already selected. If you have several, pick the right one.

ComStack looks at the page and auto-suggests the best template (for example, a property template for a listing). Check the suggestion and adjust if needed. You can also add a short instruction to guide the capture — for example, “Skip the agency banner, focus on the property details.”

6. Extract the page

Click Extract This Page. ComStack captures the page, pulls out the text and images, and fills in the template fields. You’ll see the progress as it analyzes the content, extracts the data, and saves the images.

7. Let AI enrich the result

Enrichment is on by default. For a property, this is where ComStack reads the photos — adding the view from the windows, the materials and finishes, and nearby amenities. Leave the toggle on for richer results, or switch it off for a plain capture.

8. Review and save as a draft

When extraction finishes, the captured content opens in the editor. Check the text and the metadata fields, make any quick edits, then click Save as Draft. Your page is now a draft on your site — ready to publish whenever you are.

What’s next

You’ve captured your first page. When you’ve gathered a few, head to Review and publish to manage your drafts and push them live.
