Turn permitted event pages into reviewable WordPress drafts.

NexDirectory Scanner helps your team collect event details from pages they are allowed to use, then send those details into NexDirectory for editorial review before anything is published.

What it helps with
Capture

Prepare listing drafts faster

Scan a permitted source page and collect useful event details such as title, dates, venue, description, and media references.

Review

Keep editors in control

Send records into WordPress as drafts or pending listings so your team can check accuracy, rights, and duplicates before publishing.

Connect

Use a dedicated App Pass

Connect the extension with a site-specific App Pass instead of sharing WordPress account passwords with browser tools.

Workflow

Use the extension without losing editorial control.

Install the extension

Open the Chrome Web Store listing and add NexDirectory Scanner to Chrome for the people trusted to prepare listings.

Connect your WordPress site

In NexDirectory, create or rotate the App Pass and copy the connection details into the extension.

Scan, check, and publish

Scan a permitted page, review the suggested details in WordPress, then publish only after an editor has checked the draft.

Questions

Chrome extension questions.

What does the extension do?

It helps turn selected event information from a page into a draft or pending NexDirectory listing on your connected WordPress site.

Can it publish events automatically?

Use a review workflow. Imported records should be checked for accuracy, duplication, attribution, and media rights before becoming public.

Do I need Pro?

No. The secure Chrome connection and draft import workflow are part of the main NexDirectory plugin. Pro can add AI-assisted rewriting and enrichment for connected drafts.
