we are very excited to announce the launch of our Google Chrome Extensions Builder package for Bubble. We have been experimenting with Google chrome extensions for quite a while and even though it has always been quite simple to wrap your bubble app into an extension, communication wasn’t possible. However with this release we were able to solve that problem by allowing your Bubble App to communicate with your Chrome Extension and also with the browser of the user.
Features Receive ready-to-publish zip file with your embedded bubble application Define extension logo, size and start url Get the users current tab Get the users current highlighted text Trigger a new webpage to be opened Trigger the creation of a bookmark Change a specific input field on page Change all input fields on page Show alert Get the main language of the page
–many more features will be released in the upcoming weeks and months (taking screenshots, changing text etc.)
Pricing
The pricing consists of two parts:
You can purchase a ready-to-publish build delivered as a .zip file for $129 via chrome.nocodehq.com . This will contain a page of your bubble application embedded and all relevant files needed to submit your chrome extension for publishing (logo files, version etc.)
In order to use advanced features like getting data from the browser and triggering actions you will have to subscribe to our Bubble Plugin for $10 / month
Hi Anticode, When I am designing the extension, can there be hidden groups that are collapsed when hidden? for example, a login screen? so the height of the entire page (which will become the extension) is for example, 2600, but the height of various groups to make the extension function are ~400. Also, trigger a screenshot of a selection from the current tab (like dragging over an image) would be amazing. Is that in the roadmap? Thanks!
yes you can do that however the extension itself where the bubble app will be embedded will have a fixed width and height. It won’t be able to dynamically expand or collapse, so make sure that the height and width that you choose for the extension build is “big enough” to accommodate all your elements.
Yes, taking screenshots of the current tab is actually the next item in our roadmap! We’ll post here in this thread once this is ready.

One question, do you think it would be possible at one point to include HTML in a page viewed by the user? Example : I’m using Google Calendar, i’d like to add a button that will generate an action in bubble directly in the calendar/event/etc…
What your describing is a bit more complex but we will add that in the future.
The next update however will allow you to inject a custom script into the current page. This would allow you to also display custom HTML. This however would not support the functionality of then sending data back to your bubble app
