Saving a page to your planner while browsing
A browser extension turns any page into a draft in your calendar, using a Pro plan API token. Manual install for now; it is not on the Chrome Web Store.
where this happens in the app
1. Generate a personal access token
On the Pro plan, go to Settings, then Developer, and generate an API token. It's shown once, so copy it before closing the page. Anyone with this token can create drafts in your workspace, so treat it like a password.
2. Load the extension in developer mode
Not yet on the Chrome Web Store. Download the extension source, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, and click Load unpacked to select the extension folder. This is a manual step for now, not one-click.
3. Paste the token into the extension
Click the extension icon, paste the token you generated, and connect. It's stored only in your browser, not synced across devices.
4. Save any page as a draft
Click the extension icon on a page you want to save, or right-click and choose Save to PostEase planner. It creates a draft with that page's title, URL, and an optional note. No platform or schedule is picked yet, so finish it the same way you would any other draft.
