Chrome Extension

Save job postings to Idynic with one click while browsing LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, and other job boards.

The extension automatically extracts job details, detects duplicates, and syncs with your Idynic account so you can track and analyze opportunities from anywhere.

On supported application forms it also works the other direction: Prefill this applicationpushes your portrait's contact details, links, current role, and education into the form so you only have to review them.

LinkedIn jobs

LinkedIn jobs are automatically enriched with additional metadata like location, salary range, seniority level, and company logo.

Pin the Idynic extension to your toolbar for quick access. Click the puzzle piece icon → Pin Idynic.

Prefill an application

On a supported application form, the extension can fill the routine fields from your portrait so you can spend your time on the questions that actually need you.

Running a prefill

  1. Open the application form on Greenhouse, Workable, or Fillout
  2. Click the Idynic extension icon
  3. Click "Prefill this application" — the button only appears on forms the extension can fill
  4. Grant the one-time permission prompt if Chrome asks for it
  5. Review every filled field, then submit the form yourself

What gets filled

Name, email, phone, LinkedIn, GitHub, and portfolio links, your location, your current company and title, and your most recent school and degree. Anything missing from your profile is simply left blank — the extension never guesses at a value.

What never gets filled

Free-text essay questions and EEO or demographic questions are never touched. For the essays, generate Q&A draftson the opportunity's tailored profile in Idynic and paste the answers you want.

You press submit

The extension reports how many fields it filled and stops there. It never submits an application for you.

Supported application forms
Greenhouse
Workable
Fillout
After a prefill
"Filled 11 fields - review before submitting. You press submit."
Requires
Extension v1.0.5 or later, and a profile with contact details filled in.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions.

"Couldn't extract job"

Some job pages have complex layouts that prevent automatic extraction. Use the "Paste description manually" option to copy the job text from the page and paste it directly.

"API key invalid"

Your API key may have been revoked or expired. Go to Settings → API Keys in Idynic to create a new key, then update it in the extension settings.

"Network error"

Check your internet connection. If the problem persists, Idynic may be temporarily unavailable. Try again in a few minutes.

No "Prefill this application" button

The button only shows on application forms the extension has an adapter for — Greenhouse, Workable, and Fillout. On a job board listing, or on an ATS without an adapter, you'll only see the save options.

"No matching fields found on this form"

The form uses field names the extension doesn't recognize, or your profile is missing the details it would have filled. Add your contact info and work history in your profile and try again.

Extension not appearing

Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome's toolbar to see all extensions. Click the pin icon next to Idynic to keep it visible.
