How to Use BccBuddy Extension

Complete setup guide to get the most out of your BccBuddy Chrome extension for automated email workflows.

Step 1: Pin the Extension

Make BccBuddy easily accessible in your Chrome toolbar

Why pin the extension?

Pinning keeps the BccBuddy icon visible in your Chrome toolbar, making it easy to access settings and manually inject triggers when needed.

Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome toolbar

This opens the extensions menu

Find BccBuddy in the list

Look for the BccBuddy extension

Click the pin icon next to BccBuddy

Set your favorite trigger by clicking the star icon next to any trigger. This becomes your default for auto-injection and manual use.
