How do I install Applane and sign in?

Install

If your IT team force-installed Applane, the icon is already in your Chrome toolbar. Skip to sign in.

Otherwise, install it from the Chrome Web Store listing your IT team sent you, or search for Applane there. If the store says the extension is blocked by your administrator, ask IT to allow it: Chrome extension policy.

Applane works in Chrome, Edge and Brave.

Sign in

1. Click the Applane icon. The side panel opens.
2. If asked, type your work email. Most managed setups skip this because IT pinned the company domain.
3. Google’s sign-in opens under your company’s own app name (for example “Applane (Acme)”). Pick your work account and accept the permissions. What each one is for: Scopes reference.
4. The panel opens on your workspace.

Use your work account. A personal Google account is refused before anything runs.

Turn on the Apps Script API

The first time, the panel shows a card: “Turn on the Apps Script API”. This is a personal Google setting that has nothing to do with Applane; without it Google refuses to create Apps Script projects for you.

1. Click the link, or open script.google.com/home/usersettings.
2. Set Google Apps Script API to On.
3. Come back to the panel. It re-checks on its own.

More on why: Apps Script API per-user setting.

If sign-in refuses you
