MiniCRM Lead Capture Chrome Extension

Automatically extracts contact details from any webpage using AI, pre-fills a MiniCRM webform, and lets you review and submit in one click. No API keys or technical setup needed — AI extraction and form submission are handled securely in the background.

Requirements

  • Chrome browser
  • A MiniCRM account with at least one active webform
  • The Direct Form URL from MiniCRM (see Setup below)

One-time Setup

  1. Install the extension in Chrome.
  2. Click the extension icon in the toolbar, then click Connect your MiniCRM Form → (or open Settings directly).
  3. In Settings, paste your Direct Form URL into the field and click Connect Form.
    • Where to find it: In MiniCRM, go to Forms → select your form → “Embedding a form and direct linking” → copy the Direct URL.
    • Format: https://{host}/Form-{hash} — e.g. https://r3.minicrm.one/Form-78941-0yy...
  4. A preview of your form fields appears — this confirms the form is connected.
  5. Done. The extension is ready to use.

Daily Usage

  1. Browse to any page with contact or company information.
  2. Click the MiniCRM Lead Capture toolbar icon.
  3. The extension reads the page and AI pre-fills the form fields.
  4. Review and edit the values as needed — required fields are marked with *.
  5. Expand Show more fields to see optional fields.
  6. Click Capture Lead.
  7. A green “Lead captured!” confirmation message appears.

Good to know:

  • Pages that can’t be read (e.g. browser internal pages, PDFs) won’t be extracted automatically — you can still fill in the fields manually and submit.
  • Cached extractions: If you’ve already captured a page, a “Loaded from cache” notice appears. Click Refresh to re-run the AI extraction.
  • Auto-saved drafts: Your edits are saved for up to 24 hours, so you won’t lose anything if you close the popup and come back.

Supported Field Types

The extension fills in text, email, phone, URL, and number fields automatically.

The following field types are not supported and will not appear in the extension, even if they exist on your form:

  • Multiple choice (checkbox list)
  • Radio button (single choice)
  • Date and date-time
  • File upload

If your form relies heavily on these field types, you can submit the lead directly through the MiniCRM webform instead.

Permissions

Permission Why
activeTab Read the current page to extract contact info
scripting Inject a content script to collect page text
storage Save your form config and draft values locally
Network Communicate with the secure backend only

No data is sent to third parties. The secure backend processes the page text to extract field values and submits the form to MiniCRM — nothing else.

Troubleshooting

Symptom What to do
“Form not configured” Go to Settings and connect a form (see Setup above).
“Could not read this page” Some pages block content scripts — fill the fields manually.
Submission error Make sure all required fields (*) are filled. Any error message returned by MiniCRM will be shown inline.
Wrong values extracted The AI works best on pages with clearly structured contact info. Edit any incorrect fields before submitting.
