Clip Coverage with the Prezly Toolbox

Meet Prezly Toolbox (Beta), a Chrome browser extension that helps bring your web research into Prezly. Use it to save new contacts and coverage to your Prezly CRM as you browser.

This works in a similar fashion to the contact finder – install the extension, log in to Prezly, and open the Toolbox from your Chrome toolbar and click the Coverage section.

As you browse supported pages, Coverage Clipper looks for coverage. Findings appear in the browser’s side panel, where you can review them and remove anyone you don’t want to keep.

Hover over a finding to see more details, including the page it came from and any details found.

Select the coverage you want to keep and click Save in Prezly. Prezly opens a review window where you can check the findings, then choose which coverage to create.

Nothing becomes logged coverage in your account until you click Create coverage.

The Toolbox holds up to 20 clippings. Once your list is full, it stops adding new coverage and keeps your existing findings. Create coverage in Prezly or remove unwanted clippings to make room for more.

Scanning is active while the Toolbox panel is open and you’re logged in to Prezly. Closing it stops new scans, and your collected findings remain available for later.

You might want to skip your own company’s website, ignore your email address, or exclude particular pages from your research.

Open the Settings using the gear icon in Coverage. From there, you can:

• Exclude keywords to ignore specific words in title, description or publisher.
• Exclude domains to skip entire websites.
• Exclude URLs to skip particular pages while continuing to collect contacts elsewhere on the same site.

Click Save rules to apply your preferences. They’re stored locally in the extension and remembered for future browsing.
