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 supported order files, validates requests against your business rules, and imports approved orders directly into Streamline—reducing repetitive data entry and helping your team catch exceptions before they slow down fulfilment.
How it works
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
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.
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.
