Introducing the GatherMonk Chrome Plugin — GatherMonk in Any Tab, Without Switching
Check request status, send invitations, and copy form links without ever leaving your CRM, inbox, or project tool. One click. Sidebar opens. Done.
If you use GatherMonk alongside other tools — a CRM, an inbox, a project management platform — you already know the friction. Every time you need to check a submission status or grab a form link, you open a new tab, navigate to GatherMonk, do the task, then try to find your way back to where you were.
Today, we’re announcing the GatherMonk Chrome Plugin — a browser sidebar that puts your live requests and forms one click away, on any website, without touching your current tab.
The Problem: Every GatherMonk Task Pulls You Out of What You Were Doing
You’re not a full-time GatherMonk user. You’re an account manager, an events coordinator, a procurement officer. GatherMonk is one of ten tools open in your browser. And right now, accessing it means a full context switch — every single time.
Most tools in this space — whether it’s a CRM browser extension like HubSpot’s sidebar or a productivity Chrome extension like Todoist — understand this problem and solve it with a persistent panel. Until now, GatherMonk didn’t have that. So every task, no matter how small, interrupted your flow:
- A client calls asking about their submission status — you put them on hold, open a new tab, navigate to GatherMonk, search for the request, and come back 90 seconds later
- You’re composing an email and need a form link — you stop writing, tab-switch, navigate, copy the link, lose your train of thought, come back
- You’ve just added a new contact in your CRM — sending them a document request means opening GatherMonk in yet another tab
- Checking who’s overdue on a request — a five-second task that eats 90 seconds of switching
The GatherMonk Chrome Plugin eliminates all of it.
What Is the GatherMonk Chrome Plugin?
The Chrome Plugin is a lightweight browser sidebar that opens over any tab you’re already working in. Click the GatherMonk icon in your Chrome toolbar — on your CRM, your inbox, your spreadsheet, anywhere — and a panel appears with your live requests and forms. Close it when you’re done. Your tab is exactly as you left it.
Unlike general-purpose browser productivity extensions like Bardeen or Workona that require workflow setup and integrations, the GatherMonk plugin requires nothing beyond your existing account. Connect once. It stays authenticated silently. Your live data is always there when you need it.
“A five-second task should take five seconds — not ninety. The Chrome Plugin collapses every routine GatherMonk action into a single click, from any website you’re already on.”
Three Real Moments the Plugin Saves Every Day
These are not edge cases. For account managers, events coordinators, and procurement teams, these situations happen multiple times a day.
Moment 1 — A Client Calls Mid-Task
“Can you check which documents are still outstanding for my account?”
❌ Before — 90 seconds
Put client on hold. Open new tab. Navigate to GatherMonk. Log in. Find the request. Check status. Return to call. Client is frustrated.
✓ After — 5 seconds
Click GatherMonk icon. Panel opens over your CRM. Status visible immediately. Answer the client. Close panel. Done — still on the same tab.
Moment 2 — Composing an Email and Need a Form Link
“Let me find that registration form link for you…”
❌ Before — 45 seconds
Stop writing. Open new tab. Navigate to GatherMonk. Find Forms. Locate the right form. Copy the link. Return to email. Lose your train of thought.
✓ After — 8 seconds
Click GatherMonk icon. Switch to Forms tab. Find the form. Copy the link. Paste into email. Close plugin. Email sent — without ever leaving your inbox.
Moment 3 — New Contact Just Added to Your CRM
“I should send them the vendor questionnaire while I’m here.”
❌ Before — 3 minutes
Open new tab. Navigate to GatherMonk. Find the right request template. Manually type the supplier’s email. Send. Return to CRM. Hope you remember where you were.
✓ After — 20 seconds
Click GatherMonk icon. Hit Invite. Enter the email already visible on screen. Choose the template. Send. Still in the CRM — never left.
What’s Inside the Plugin: Four Core Capabilities
The Chrome Plugin is deliberately focused — it surfaces the GatherMonk tasks you do most often, right where you already are. No bloat. No setup beyond your existing account.
1. View All Active Requests Included on all plans
See every request organised by status — In Progress, Overdue, Awaiting Review — from a single panel. Expand any request to see which clients are behind and which specific documents are still outstanding. The same live data you’d see in your GatherMonk dashboard, accessible in seconds from any tab.
2. Send Request Invitations Directly
Enter any email address and send a request invitation from the sidebar panel — without opening GatherMonk in a new tab. The recipient is added and invited immediately. Particularly powerful for account managers who add contacts in a CRM and want to kick off a document request in the same motion.
3. Copy Form Share Links Instantly
All your active forms appear in the Forms tab. Copy a public share link or a personalised invitation link with one click — while composing an email, a Slack message, or a WhatsApp — without ever navigating away.
4. Works on Any Website — No Integration Required
Unlike CRM-native tools that only work inside a specific platform, the GatherMonk Chrome Plugin opens on any tab — your CRM, your inbox, Google Sheets, a project management tool, or a plain Google search page. No API setup. No integration. Just Chrome and your GatherMonk account.
Who Is the Chrome Plugin Built For?
The plugin is most valuable for people who use GatherMonk as part of a wider toolset — not those who spend their whole day inside GatherMonk itself. If any of these describe you, the plugin will save you significant time every day:
- Account managers — You live in your CRM. Now you can check request status and send invitations without leaving it.
- Events & conference coordinators — You manage exhibitor and speaker document collection across email, spreadsheets, and event platforms. The plugin keeps GatherMonk accessible without forcing a tab switch every time.
- Procurement & compliance officers — You’re tracking supplier document submissions while managing vendor records elsewhere. One click, status visible, back to work.
- Agency project managers — You’re in your project tool all day. Now you can grab a client form link or send an onboarding request without navigating away.
- HR & people teams — Managing employee document collection alongside your HRIS or ATS. The plugin removes the constant tab juggling.
- Legal & professional services teams — You’re in your case management or matter portal. GatherMonk tasks that used to require full context switches now take seconds.
