This article provides some quick tips on how to navigate the new TextUs Chrome extension, adjust the size, and access the menus and additional features.

Access the sidebar menu

The sidebar menu gives you access to additional options and features in each view. For example, within your inbox, you can open the sidebar menu to view your inbox folders.

To access the sidebar menu, click the open menu icon on any view to view additional options for that area. To collapse the sidebar menu, simply click the close menu icon .

Switch between accounts

If you have access to more than one messaging account in TextUs, you can easily switch between them using the account dropdown menu to quickly go back and forth between your accounts, or view all of the accounts you have access to.

Resize the TextUs Chrome extension

Resizing the TextUs Chrome extension gives you a larger working area for the extension. To resize the extension, hover your mouse over the far left edge of the extension, then click and drag the edge to resize it according to your preference.

Configure which side the extension appears on

The TextUs Chrome extension can appear on either the left or right side of your browser when opened. To configure this, complete the following steps:

  1. At the top right of your Google Chrome browser, click the three dotmenu.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. On the left menu, select Appearance.

  4. In the Side panel section, select either Show on right or Show on left.

Access the More menu

The More menu can be found on the bottom right corner of the Chrome extension window. This menu gives you access to the following additional areas:

  • Campaigns: Track your previous campaign analytics, or view your scheduled campaigns.

  • Groups: Add and organize contacts into contact groups so you can more easily send them campaigns or enroll them in sequences.

Note: We are currently working to improve the workflows and appearance of areas such as Campaigns and Groups. For a better experience in the meantime, we recommend resizing the Chrome extension to be wider.
