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
- Download the build for Chrome or Edge from NetTree’s extension page (
/extension). - Load unpacked or install from store per instructions on that page.
- 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
| Step | Extension behavior |
|---|---|
| Field mapping | Suggests values from approved draft JSON |
| Preview | Shows mapped fields before applying |
| Apply fill | Writes into editable inputs you can still change |
| Final submit | Never 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.
API surfaces (reference)
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
/api/extension/fill-suggest | Draft field mapping for current page |
/api/extension/queue-event | Sync submission/listing events |
These require valid extension authentication tied to your workspace token.
Recommended session flow
- Prepare drafts in Directory workflow
- Open submit page from workflow or site queue Open selected (batch open)
- Preview and apply fill in extension
- Submit manually on destination site
- Mark Submitted in NetTree; add Live URL when listed
- Confirm row in Submission Tracker
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.
