The OpenATS Extension is a Chrome side panel for adding people to OpenATS from LinkedIn and Juicebox. Chrome and Brave. Sign in with your OpenATS account. After installing it, open the side panel and choose **Sign in with OpenATS**: it works as you, so what you add is yours and it only shows what your role can see.

## Get it

1. Open the [OpenATS Extension in the Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/openats-extension/oifacpppaoghcmcfobekflnkalknkjlk) and choose **Add to Chrome**.
2. Pin **OpenATS Extension** to the toolbar, and click its icon to open the side panel.
3. Choose **Sign in with OpenATS**.
   OpenATS opens in a small window. Sign in there if you aren’t already, choose **Connect**, and the window closes.

It works in Chrome 116 or later, and in Brave, as the browser’s side panel next to the page you’re on.

## Signed in as you

- Signing in hands the extension a key of its own for you: there’s nothing to copy or paste, and the key never appears in a web address.
- Whatever it adds is yours: you’re the owner of the application it creates.
- It shows only what your role can see. A confidential role you’re not on never shows, and neither does email you couldn’t read in OpenATS.
- Its key works only with the extension, and stops working if your account is archived.

Each browser you connect is listed, named for the browser, under **Connected browsers** in **Settings → Integrations → Browser extension**. Remove one there, or choose **Sign out** in the extension’s account menu, to sign it out. That page also explains the extension, with **See how it works** and **Get the extension**.

## Where new people go

Open **Settings** in the extension’s account menu to choose your defaults: the **Opportunity** (a role, or a general opportunity), a **Sourcing project**, and an optional **Outreach sequence**. The **Role** picker above **Add to OpenATS** starts on your default for each new person.

> **Important:** If you choose a sequence, everyone you add joins it, and it sends to them as it would to anyone else you enrolled. The extension never emails anyone by itself.

## Questions about installing the OpenATS Extension

### Does it work with a self-hosted OpenATS?

Yes. Under **Sign in with OpenATS**, choose **Use a different OpenATS address** and enter yours.

### Can I use an API key instead of signing in?

**Use a key instead** takes a key made in **Settings → Integrations → Browser extension**, or an admin’s workspace key. A workspace key sees what an admin sees, and what it adds has no owner, so signing in as yourself is better.

### What does it read?

The LinkedIn profile you have open, while the side panel is open, and the Juicebox list or profile in front of you. It reads no other sites and never your browsing history. In the browser it keeps only its sign-in key and your defaults.
