Chrome extension that auto-composes a reply email to ask for a follow-up at a later date

Use The Extension

  1. Clone the repo and cd into the directory
  2. Install and build the extension (this might take a while):
    • npm install
    • npm run build
      • this should create a "build" folder in the extension folder - this is the extension code that needs to be loaded into Chrome
  3. Load extension into Chrome by going to chrome://extensions/, turning developer mode on, and clicking Load unpacked. Select the build folder. The extension will now be available in the extension toolbar.

Configuration

You can now create your own options for the autocomplete, and edit them even after building the extension. Just go to the build directory and edit any of the fields in the config.json file, either the text or by adding to the arrays.

If the extension is already loaded, you can press the new Refresh button on the top-right corner to reload the data.

Note that, if an array has 5 or more options, the checkboxes will change into a drop-down.

Example

To use the extension To change the config

Future Work

Next step is to integrate with Google Calendar to automatically add a reminder to follow up with the person on the specified date! Stay tuned!
