MatrixReq Chrome extension Configuration

Pretty much any SAAS tool can be integrated with the Chrome extension as long as you can reconstruct a permanent link from the URL.

The configuration is a server setting. You can modify it from the addon “MEXT : Chrome Extension Settings” from any project :


If you don’t have this addon or if you need assistance please contact the Support team. We’ll be happy to help you.

JSON Edition

Here is an example with ZenDesk :

    {
    [{
      "name":"zendesk",
      "urlProcessor":[
        {
          "urlRegex":"https://(.*)\\.zendesk\\.com/agent/tickets/([^&]*).*$",
          "id":"[$1] $2",
          "permaLink":"https://$1.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/$2",
          "titlePath":"div[data-selected=true] div[data-test-id='header-tab-title']",
          "titlePathProperty":"data-clipboard-text",
          "descriptionPath":".event-container .content",
          "pathsToExcludesInDescription":[
            ".user_photo",
            "[role='button']",
            "[data-action='show-ccs']"],
          "pathsToExcludesInTitle":[
          ],
          "descriptionSeparator":"<br/>------------------------------ <br/>"
        }]
    }]
}

"name":"zendesk" : is the name of the processors groups

"urlProcessor": this is a list of URL processor that will extract the required data to create link with MatrixReq.
