oSky Bookmarklets

The four main bookmarklets are:

How to use them:

They all work basically the same way: if you select some text on a webpage and click the bookmarklet it will act on your selection. If you don't select anything (or if it does not understand your selection) it will prompt you to type/paste your query.

Go straight to the carrier website for native tracking

Select any text and press this bookmarklet - you'll be taken to a search page and from there, if it recognizes a tracking number you'll be taken directly to the carrier's page automatically. It ignores spaces, punctuation, and capitalization.

If it doesn't recognize a tracking number it will first ask for confirmation. If you still decide to search it will check Google

Easily Impersonate Customers or Merchants

Select a slug and you'll be taken to that merchant's dashboard.

Otherwise select some text and this will search for email addresses. It will then impersonate the first email address it finds, and take you straight to the customer's Purchases Page!

** CHECK THIS: Feel like beta testing v2.0? This one works with the microsites! And I changed the name because it seemed fun :-)

Here's how it works: You can use it just like before - but now, if you go back to the window where you first clicked the bookmarklet you will see choices for each of the microsites. If you don't click anything it will disappear after 7 seconds - so you wont notice it. But of course you can click anywhere in the background to close it right away.

Also, if you are on one of the microsites (or OpenSky) then it will impersonate on that site, though unfortunately the microsites do not let us impersonate straight to the Orders page :-(

Slugs work the same

Here it is: Imposter

Why should there be different fields for different searches?

This bookmarklet detects Order Numbers, Email Addresses, Tracking Numbers, Full Names, Phone Numbers, and Last Names and searches accordingly

If it finds any order numbers it will open them in Admin. As many as it finds

If none are found then it will look for email addresses and search using the first one it finds

If it finds neither then it will look for phone numbers and do a User search on the first one. Then if you find the user you can search for orders.

If it finds none of those then it will search by name. If it looks like a name it will search automatically, otherwise it will ask for confirmation.

note: The first time you try to open multiple orders at once your browser will block the attempt. But you can then allow multiple popups on that domain and try again. This is domain-specific so you will have to allow popups when searching from Desk, and again from Admin, etc. But then it will remember indefinitely.

Desk has some powerful search capabilities, but they are cumbersome. This bookmarklet makes it easy

This also will scan your selection for any Order Numbers, Email Addresses or Phone Numbers. It will then seach Desk for cases that match any of those criteria.

If you are on an order then it will automatically search for that Order, Email, and Phone.

This works only in NextGenDesk and requires opening a new window. If you use Classic Desk or would prefer to stay in one window you can use this alternate bookmarklet. It will give you text to copy and paste into the Desk search field.

Here it is: DeskSearch

Bonus Bookmarklets

Opens RingCentral and dials the first number it finds

Note: Sometimes RingCentral stops responding to telephone links. This is unrelated to these bookmarklets. If it stops working just exit RingCentral. You don't have to restart it. When you click the bookmarklet again it will restart automatically.

Probably obvious, but: this searches for products on OpenSky

A more complete version of the UPS bookmarklet you already use

We don't have to go to UPS to create labels very often anymore. But that makes it easier to forget a step. This bookmarklet does everything but choose the merchant.

First of all: forget that blue button in Admin.

Here's what you do:

Search the Plan Orders or Sellers pages

So the Plan Orders page can be searched by email, but not slug; and the Sellers page can be searched by slug, but not email. This bookmarklet will search accordingly.

Then, for example, if you want to search Plan Orders but only have a slug, no big deal: it will take you to the Sellers results, but you'll have the email address right there so you can try again and get to the Plan Orders. Or vice versa.

Added bonus: if you are on any merchant page (including products) you can skip highlighting anything. The bookmarklet will search sellers for that merchant's slug automatically

And here are a couple webApps I've made

A simple note taking app with the simplicity of a notebook

If you click the top right corner it makes a new note - like turning the page in a notebook.

Clicking the bottom left corner pulls up the history - like flipping back through the pages.

And I added a bit of style too. The bottom right corner pulls up the settings. Change the text color, corner color, or background. You cannot upload a picture, but you can use the address of any image you find online. Even animated gifs!

Quickly see how much of your break is left

Most timers are about alerting you at the end

But if you are on your lunch break you need to be back and ready before the timer goes off

This has just three buttons: 1hr Lunch, 30min Lunch, and 10min Break.

One cool feature is that the time is stored in the URL. So you can share the link with someone else, or email it to yourself and see the same timer on your computer in the office that you started on your phone.
