# Using the Haystack Chrome Extension 🚀

Ready to stay in the loop without even thinking about it? Our Haystack Chrome extension is your new best friend! It lets you get real-time notifications about new posts, messages, and announcements right on your browser and desktop. You’ll never miss a thing!

### **How to Get the Extension**

To get started, just [CLICK HERE](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/haystack-intranet/alknmlfampipmnmbjbpkcccoejomakcf) to download the Haystack Chrome Extension page in the Chrome Web Store and add it to your browser.

From the extension, you can easily view and manage recent notifications directly from the browser extension. Mark updates as read, or click through to access the full content.

### **Signing In**

Once the extension is downloaded, you'll need to sign in. It's super quick!

1. Click the Haystack extension icon in your browser's extension list.
2. You'll be asked for your **workspace name**. This is just the first part of your Haystack URL.
   
     - For example, if your URL is `https://company.haystack.so/`, your workspace name is **company**.
3. After that, you'll be prompted to sign in using your regular Haystack login (like your magic link, Google Sign-In, or SSO).

And that's it- piece of cake, right? 🍰 You're now all set to stay in the loop!
