NetTree Assist browser extension

Install and use NetTree Assist to map submission form fields, guard final submit, and sync listing URLs with Submission Tracker.

NetTree Assist browser extension

NetTree Assist is a backlink submission browser extension for Chrome and Edge. It maps NetTree drafts to directory form fields, previews fill content, and syncs events back to your workspace — without auto-submitting.

Marketing overview: /extension

Who this is for

Operators running high-volume directory submission autofill sessions who still want human-controlled final submit.

What you will learn

  • Install and connect the extension
  • When page assist appears
  • Fill preview vs submit guard
  • Listing URL handoff to Tracker

Install

  1. Download the build for Chrome or Edge from NetTree’s extension page (/extension).
  2. Load unpacked or install from store per instructions on that page.
  3. Sign in to NetTree in the browser if prompted.

Connection token configuration

NetTree Assist authenticates with a deployment-level token (NETTREEEXTENSIONTOKEN on the server). Your platform operator configures the same value in the extension side panel.

When configured, Overview and workflow screens show that the extension bridge is ready. Without it, fill suggestions and queue sync API calls will not work — contact your operator; there is no per-workspace token form in the app today.


When assist appears

The extension activates on pages that match an open NetTree workflow context — typically when:

  • You opened a submit page from a NetTree workflow or Tracker Submit page link
  • The destination domain aligns with the active queue item

It does not run on arbitrary sites without context.


Fill preview vs human submit

StepExtension behavior
Field mappingSuggests values from approved draft JSON
PreviewShows mapped fields before applying
Apply fillWrites into editable inputs you can still change
Final submitNever clicks submit — you do

This preserves auditability required for agency and manual link building tools compliance.


Submission guard

NetTree Assist treats “form filled” as not “submission succeeded.” You must confirm success on the third-party site, then Mark Submitted in NetTree.

CAPTCHA, payment, OAuth, and terms acceptance always remain manual.


Listing URL detection

After a successful listing, the extension may detect a public URL and emit a queue sync event to NetTree (/api/extension/queue-event), helping populate listing notes or prompt you to save Live URL.

Always verify the detected URL before relying on it for reporting.

Common questions

Is the extension required? No. Copy/paste from drafts works without it.

Does it work on guest post forms? Support varies by page structure; directory forms are the primary target.

Auto-submit ever? No — by product policy. See Human control boundary.
