Introducing the all-new TextUs Chrome extension
Updated over 5 months ago

The all-new TextUs Chrome extension is now available for download! This new Chrome extension brings improved ease of use, better performance, and additional functionality - all with the same support for messaging directly from your CRM or ATS. The latest version of our Chrome extension gives your team the tools they need to increase their productivity and manage their text communications more effectively.

Why we built it ๐Ÿ› 

  • Compliance with stricter Google requirements: Google's updated Chrome extension guidelines warranted a complete rebuild to ensure our extension met their updated standards.

  • Enhanced user experience: User feedback highlighted the need for improvements to our extension experience. We rebuilt our Chrome extension to deliver a smoother, more intuitive experience that better meets our customer's needs.

  • Expanded functionality: Unlike its predecessor, the new extension offers a wider array of features. This expansion offers more tools and functionality to streamline workflows and address the limitations of the old Next extension.

  • Streamlined interface: By eliminating the tab and slideout obstructions that were present with the old extension, our updated Chrome extension improves usability and minimizes distractions for a better experience.

What's new โœจ

  • Enhanced inbox functionality. The new extension makes it easier to stay on top of your text communications with a more functional inbox.

  • View campaign performance. Get valuable insight into the effectiveness of your SMS campaigns by viewing campaign reports right from your extension.

  • Target your audience more easily. Create and manage contact groups to more easily send campaigns, enroll contacts in sequences, and more.

  • Work more efficiently with your CRM or ATS. Optimize your extension experience with an adjustable width that works better alongside your system of record and persists across any webpage you view.
