Why a browser extension matters for archive quality
Most useful information appears while browsing: an article paragraph, a chart image, a product page, or a quick screenshot-worthy insight. If capture is slow, you skip it. If capture is easy, your archive quality increases naturally.
Inbox4 Clip exists to remove friction from web capture. Instead of opening multiple tabs and copy-pasting into notes, you can send the right unit of information to Inbox4 in seconds.
What you can save with Inbox4 Clip
These actions map directly to real research and daily work behaviors. The extension is built to support quick capture while you stay in your normal browsing flow.

How setup works
Install Inbox4 Clip from Chrome Web Store. Then create an extension token in Inbox4 Settings → Integrations and paste it into extension settings.
After setup, captures go directly to your account archive. No manual export/import step is required.

How captured web items are processed
Extension capture uses the same archive pipeline as your other sources. Items become searchable and can be processed with AI enrichment depending on item type and your usage.
This keeps your archive consistent across channels: browser, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, and dashboard uploads.
Who should use this first
If you spend significant time in browser tabs, this is usually the highest-impact Inbox4 integration. Researchers, students, operators, and content teams can reduce information loss immediately with low setup overhead.
Plan note
Extension capture is available as a general capture workflow and works well as an onboarding path together with Telegram. This is useful for users who want to build archive habit before adding paid ingestion channels.
Expected result after a week
Your archive starts reflecting real browsing work, not only manually uploaded files. Retrieval improves because important snippets and visual references are captured at source instead of being lost in tab history.
