This chrome extension displays a button in the Chrome toolbar with the current number of active, unassigned (i.e. unread) conversations in a given Help Scout inbox.
You may install the extension:
- from the Chrome Web Store
- from the compiled .crx file in root directory this repo
- by cloning the repo and loading it as an unpacked extension
For development, you might also consider the Chrome Apps & Extensions Development extension.
After installing the extension:
- Generate an API key in your Help Scout user account.
- Open the extension's options page.
- Enter your key and select the inbox whose unread count you'd like to track.
- Optionally adjust poll interval and color threshold settings.
- Save.
The badge icon should update quickly with the current unread count.
