# Social's extension

> Escouade's Chrome extension connects each employee to Escouade Social: it receives approved posts, prepares them in LinkedIn, and reports what has appeared. It publishes with you, never in your place.

## Connecting, without a password

An administrator sends each employee a link, from their profile card ("Invite the employee"). The link is **single-use and valid for seven days**. Opened with the extension installed, it connects it to the profile: no account to create, no password, no LinkedIn credentials. Only the link's fingerprint is kept; the code sits in the part of the address the browser never sends to the server.

A person already signed in to Escouade Social, with a profile attached to their access, sees the extension connect on its own.

A link has expired? The administrator sends a new one.

## Publishing: the employee clicks

An approved post arrives in the extension, with a notification. "Prepare in LinkedIn" opens the editor, text in place; the employee adds their images, re-reads and publishes themselves.

- An approved **private message** opens in the verified recipient's conversation, and is sent the same way, by hand.
- An approved **comment**: "Prepare the comment" opens the target post and puts the text in its comment box, without ever submitting it; the employee publishes, then "I commented".

Once it appears, the post is matched with the one the extension collects, and its results come back into Social.

## What it reads

- The LinkedIn pages the person displays themselves and that their space follows: profiles and company pages.
- They are recorded on display, at most once every five minutes per page; a switch in the extension, "Automatic collection", suspends this collection.
- An employee only collects their own profile; an administrator, any profile or page the space follows.
- On the "People" tab of a followed company page, the extension offers an administrator the members shown; nothing is added without their click.

## What it never does

- Publish or send in the employee's place.
- Read a LinkedIn cookie.
- Browse or scroll the person's tabs.
- Read a page the space does not follow.

## Syncing, in its own tab

When a sync is requested (one page, or "Sync everything"), the extension opens the pages to collect in a **pinned work tab**, set apart, where it can scroll the page so that LinkedIn displays it. The panel follows progress page by page. The employee's tabs are never touched.
