Nimply Sidekick — save the post you are reading into your workspace and draft in your brand voice
Nimply Sidekick is Nimply's own browser extension. It puts a side panel next to the page you are reading so you can keep a post, write a post from it, or get a reply drafted, without leaving the tab.
It runs on Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and Arc from one build, plus Firefox and Safari.
What it does
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep this post | Saves the post, comment or article to an Ideas board with its author, text, images, link and the engagement it had at that moment |
| Write a post from this | Sends the page or your selected text to the Content Repurposer or LinkedIn Ghostwriter, then opens the result in your composer as a draft |
| Help me reply | Reads the comment thread you are looking at and suggests three replies in your brand voice, which you copy and send yourself |
| Save image | Imports an image into your media library with the page it came from recorded |
| Save as lead | Records a commenter's name, profile link and comment as a lead for the Sales and Lead agent |
What it will not do
Sidekick never acts on a social platform. It does not like, comment, follow, connect, or send messages, and it never types into a page on your behalf. Drafted replies go to your clipboard.
It also never reads a page in the background. A capture only happens when you click the Nimply icon, use the right-click menu, or press the keyboard shortcut, and it reads one post at a time rather than a feed.
The panel is a browser side panel. Sidekick adds nothing to the pages you visit, which is what most platform terms prohibit.
How it reaches your workspace
Sidekick signs in with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE against your Nimply account, the same authorization server the MCP server and other connectors use. The token is bound to one workspace, chosen on the consent screen. Connecting a second workspace is a second authorization; both stay signed in and you switch between them in the panel.
Requested scopes:
workspace:read channels:read posts:write media:write
ideas:read ideas:write ext:draft ext:reply leads:writeSidekick never requests posts:publish. Anything it creates is a draft that
goes through your normal approval and scheduling flow.
You can see and revoke the connection at any time under Settings → Developers → Connected apps, the same place other OAuth connections live.
Credits
Saving a post, importing an image and saving a lead do not cost AI credits. Drafting a post and suggesting replies use the same AI credits as the studio and the inbox. The panel shows the cost before it runs and your remaining balance after.
Ideas cards from a capture
A saved post becomes a card on an Ideas board with a link attachment holding the source URL, platform, author name and profile link, the post text, media URLs and the engagement snapshot. Trend Scout and the Content Repurposer read those cards, so anything you keep is available to your agents.
The ideas:read and ideas:write scopes are part of the public API. The
ext:* scopes are first-party only and are not available to third-party
OAuth clients or API keys.
Privacy
The extension reads the post under your click and nothing else. It does not touch cookies or your session, does not track browsing, and stores only your sign-in token and preferences on your device. Full detail, including how someone whose public post you saved can ask for removal, is in the browser extension privacy policy.
