The Chrome helper

The helper opens Facebook Marketplace, fills in the vehicle details and description, and adds the photos. You look it over and click Publish. It never posts for you, never runs in the background, and never sees your Facebook password.

Install it (about 2 minutes, once)

1. Unzip the download (right-click it and choose Extract All). You'll get a folder called drivelogic-helper with a file named manifest.json inside.
2. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode (top right).
3. Click Load unpacked and choose the drivelogic-helper folder, the one with manifest.json inside. If Chrome says the manifest is missing, open that folder: there may be a second drivelogic-helper folder inside, and that's the one to choose.
4. Click the puzzle piece in Chrome's toolbar and pin DriveLogic Showroom.
5. Open your posting page (the link in your morning text), choose Posting from a computer?, and tap Get a connection code. Click the helper and type the code.

Each day

1. Click the helper and press Fill on Facebook next to a car.
2. If Facebook won't take the helper's pick in a dropdown, the right choice is outlined in green. Click it, and the helper moves on to the next one.
3. Check the orange items in the helper panel (Facebook sometimes words a choice differently) and pick vehicle condition and clean title.
4. Click Publish on Facebook, then I published it in the panel.

Keep it to your daily list. Posting lots of listings quickly can get a personal account limited by Facebook, with or without a helper.

Answering buyers

1. Open the buyer's chat on facebook.com and highlight their message.
2. Click Draft reply at the bottom left. It writes an answer from your inventory: the right car, the all-in price, and the dealership's info. Change the car or edit the words if you need to.
3. Click Put in message box, read it over, and press Send yourself. The helper never sends anything.

Updating the helper

When there's a new version, download it again, unzip it over the old drivelogic-helper folder, then go to chrome://extensions and click the reload arrow on the helper. You stay connected.
