Browser Extension
Version 1.0.7 — August 2026
The FlowUpBoard Quick Update extension for Chrome lets you move tasks between columns and mark them done straight from your browser toolbar — no need to open the app. It is free, lightweight, and asks for no extra permissions.
What it does
- Quick status updates — mark tasks done or move them to another column without opening the app.
- Board switcher — pick any board you have access to from the toolbar popup.
- Your API token — the extension authenticates with a long-lived API token you create in Settings. It never touches your password.
- No extra permissions — the extension only needs access to your FlowUpBoard API and the settings page.
Install
Click Download extension (.zip) above and save it somewhere easy to find.
Extract the folder (for example right-click → Extract All). You should see manifest.json, popup.html, popup.js, styles.css, and an icons folder.
Open chrome://extensions in Chrome (or Edge / Brave). Turn on Developer mode using the toggle in the top-right corner.
Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped flowupboard-quick-update folder. The extension is now installed — pin it to your toolbar via the puzzle-piece icon.
Connect your account
Log in to FlowUpBoard and open Settings → API Tokens. Click Create API token and copy the token — it is shown only once.
Click the FlowUpBoard icon in your toolbar, paste the token, and hit Save. Your token is stored locally in your browser only.
Pick a board, then mark tasks done or drag-free-move them between columns. Changes sync instantly.
Security
Your API token is long-lived (365 days by default) and can do everything your account can, so treat it like a password. Your token is stored only in chrome.storage.local and is never sent to anyone but FlowUpBoard. If a token is ever exposed, revoke it instantly from Settings → API Tokens and create a new one.
Troubleshooting
- "Invalid token" — the token may be revoked or expired. Create a fresh one in Settings and update the extension.
- No boards listed — make sure you are signed in to the correct FlowUpBoard account in your browser.
- Extension won't load — you selected the wrong folder. Choose the folder that contains
manifest.jsondirectly. - Changes not showing — refresh the FlowUpBoard tab; updates sync in real time.
Coming to the Chrome Web Store
We are working on publishing the extension to the Chrome Web Store for one-click install. Until then, follow the install steps above — the whole process takes under a minute.
