PieterPost Chrome extension: open addresses directly
Chrome extension
Finding an address on a website is usually not the hard part. Typing it all over again is. The PieterPost Chrome extension is built to speed up that step: see an address online, click it, and continue in PieterPost without repeating the same copy-paste work.
Video: see how the PieterPost Chrome extension goes from detecting an address on a website to opening a draft in PieterPost.
This walkthrough shows how the extension recognizes address blocks, lets you click a highlight, and opens PieterPost so you can continue editing and sending with less manual work.
The strength of the Chrome extension is not only address detection, but removing unnecessary steps between finding an address and starting a letter. Instead of copying text, opening PieterPost, and rebuilding the recipient manually, you start from a usable draft right away. That makes it especially helpful on contact pages, company websites, and any page where you want to move from discovery to sending as quickly as possible.

The example below only shows how a draft starts inside PieterPost. In the real extension flow, the address comes directly from the website you are viewing or from the text you selected in Chrome.

When the Chrome extension is useful
- • When you find a postal address on a contact page or company website and want to start a letter right away.
- • When you want to move addresses from a directory, CRM, or member list into PieterPost faster without manual copy-paste.
- • When you want to select a short text snippet on a page and bring that into PieterPost as the message.
- • When you keep repeating the same workflow: find address, copy it, open PieterPost, paste it, and review it again.
- • When you want to turn an address block on a website into a usable letter draft in PieterPost with less friction.
Before you continue
- • The extension works best on websites where addresses are shown clearly in multiple lines or in a predictable address format.
- • Not every detected address will be perfect. You can still edit missing or incorrect details in PieterPost before sending.
- • If you store selected text as a message first, it is only used for the next address flow and then cleared again.
- • The extension scans regular websites, but it does not run on PieterPost itself.
- • If something gets highlighted that is not really an address, you can dismiss that highlight on that site.
How it works
1Install the PieterPost Chrome extension in Chrome and open a website where a postal address is visible.
2Click a highlighted address, or manually select address text and use 'Send with PieterPost' from the context menu.
3If you also want to bring over text from the page, select that text first and choose 'Use selection as PieterPost message'.
4Review the recipient and message in PieterPost, edit any details that need fixing, and then finish your letter.

Frequently asked questions
What does the PieterPost Chrome extension do?
The extension looks for address-like blocks on regular websites, highlights them on the page, and lets you open them directly in PieterPost. That saves you from manually copying and retyping address lines every time.
Does it only work with automatically highlighted addresses?
No. Besides clickable highlights on the page, there is also a context-menu fallback. You can select text that contains an address and use 'Send with PieterPost' if the automatic highlight is not the best fit.
Can I also bring a message over from the page?
Yes. You can first select text and choose 'Use selection as PieterPost message'. When you click an address after that, PieterPost opens with both the address and your selected message text.
What if the detected address is not fully correct?
Yes. If the detected address is incomplete or needs adjustment, PieterPost can still open and you can edit the recipient there before sending anything.
Does it open the right PieterPost language version too?
Yes. The extension automatically opens the closest supported PieterPost locale based on your browser language, such as Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, or Italian.
Can I hide incorrect address highlights?
Yes. If something is highlighted that is not really an address, you can dismiss that highlight on that site so the page stays usable.
