Streamline Chrome Extension

Automate Order Entry from Gmail to Streamline.

Turn incoming customer orders into validated Streamline orders automatically.

The Streamline Chrome Extension monitors approved Gmail senders, reads incoming orders, validates every request, and imports approved orders directly into Streamline—saving you weeks of manual work every year, while reducing order-entry mistakes.

Monitor approved senders

The extension scans approved Gmail inboxes for incoming client order emails.

Read attachments

It processes order details from HTML, PDF, Excel, and CSV order formats.

Validate orders

Every order is checked against deadlines, delivery rules, product availability, and required details.

Import to Streamline

Approved orders are imported directly into Streamline without manual re-keying.

Confirm or flag

Confirmation emails are sent, while exceptions are color-coded for review in Gmail.

Reads attachments

PDF, HTML, Excel and CSV

Customers send orders in different formats: HTML, PDFs, Excel files, and CSVs. The extension scans approved inboxes, identifies order details, and checks each order against your business rules before it reaches Streamline.

PDF

Process order details sent as PDF order files or attachments.

HTML

Read structured order information from HTML order emails and files.

Excel

Import order details from customer spreadsheets.

CSV

Support CSV order files as part of your automated order workflow.

Order capture

From Purchase Order Number to Order Confirmation

The Streamline Chrome Extension captures every detail in the order, including:

  • Purchase Order #
  • Delivery Date
  • Delivery Address
  • Items & quantities

Once an order is approved and imported, a confirmation email is automatically sent to all subscribed users.

Automatic validation

Validate every request before it becomes an order.

Before an order is imported, the extension checks whether:

  • The order was submitted before the deadline
  • The delivery address is served on the requested delivery date
  • Requested products are available or made on the selected day
  • Required order details are complete
  • The order meets all your business’ fulfillment rules
Two order status dialog boxes: the top shows Order — Failed in red with a message Order Already Exists, and the bottom shows Order — Imported in green with product details and an Open in Streamline button.

Streamline import

Approved Orders Flow Straight into Streamline

When an order is validated, it is imported automatically into Streamline. The original Gmail message is then color-coded so you can see at a glance orders that have been imported successfully.

A dashboard for Streamline Order Import shows order statuses with colored dots, auto-imported orders, and recent activity updates, including order imports and failures with timestamps and email addresses.

Exceptions

Exceptions Are Easy to Spot

When an order needs attention, the extension flags and color-codes the email in Gmail. You can quickly identify the issue, review the order, and take the appropriate action without digging through the inbox.

Imported

The order was validated and created in Streamline.

Needs review

The email needs attention before your team moves forward.

Scanned

The message has been scanned or ignored based on status.

A digital order inbox shows six messages from various bakeries and stores, each with a colored status label such as Imported, Needs review, Failed, Processed, and Scanned, along with order details and times.

Key Benefits

Less Manual Entry. Fewer Mistakes. Faster Processing.

The Streamline Chrome Extension helps bakery teams move from inbox chaos to a clear, automated order workflow—so staff can spend less time copying order details and more time keeping production and delivery on track.

What does the Chrome Extension do?

It scans approved Gmail order emails, processes PDF, HTML, CSV and Excel order files, validates order details, imports valid orders into Streamline, and flags emails that need attention.

Does it work with Outlook or other email clients?

The Streamline Chrome Extension only works on Gmail in Google Chrome. If you use another email client, you may easily create a Gmail address, specifically to receive orders. Either autoforward order emails to the new address or ask customers to send orders directly to the new address.

Does it work in Edge, Safari, or other browsers?

The Streamline Chrome Extension only works on Google Chrome and it does not work on Edge, Safari or other browsers. Click here to download Google Chrome.

What do the order statuses mean?

Statuses show whether an order was successfully imported, needs review, failed, had already been entered in Streamline (duplicate not entered), was ignored, or has only been scanned.

How does this connect to Streamline?

Valid order details are imported into Streamline, while exceptions are flagged so your team can review them before moving forward.
