IntentXT User Guide

Last updated: 2026-09-09 · Extension ~v2.1.15 · Readable HTML guide for humans

IntentXT is a Chrome extension and web dashboard that finds B2B buying-intent conversations on Reddit, LinkedIn, and Facebook — then helps you draft helpful replies.

Download Free Now! Start the tutorial Sign in

Download & install

Open the Chrome Web Store listing (Chrome recommended).
Click Add to Chrome → Add extension.
Pin IntentXT B2B Intent Lead Finder from the puzzle-piece menu.
Open the popup and sign in (or create an account).

Install from Payhip or AppSumo

This path is only for customers who bought from Payhip or AppSumo and downloaded a zip. It is not the Chrome Web Store install.

Chrome Web Store installs do not need Developer mode. Do not turn Developer mode on for a Store install. Use Add to Chrome above instead.

If your Payhip or AppSumo email included a zip:

Download the zip from the Payhip or AppSumo email and unzip it. Keep the unzipped folder in a permanent place (for example Documents), not a temp folder or a Downloads folder that gets cleaned. Do not delete or move the folder after install — Chrome loads the extension from that folder.
Open Google Chrome and go to chrome://extensions (or Menu → Extensions → Manage Extensions).
Turn on Developer mode (top right). Leave it on. If it is turned off later, Chrome disables the extension.
Click Load unpacked. Select the unzipped folder that contains manifest.json — the folder itself, not the zip and not a file inside the folder. If Chrome says the manifest is missing, you selected the wrong folder; open the unzipped folder and choose the inner folder that contains manifest.json.
Pin IntentXT from the puzzle icon.
Sign in with the same email used on Payhip or AppSumo. Redeem the deal code in the extension Settings, or at intentxt.payxt.app/redeem. Codes look like INTXT-####-#####-##. Each code works once.
Confirm Pro on the extension or at intentxt.payxt.app/billing.
If it disappears after a restart: confirm Developer mode is still on at chrome://extensions, turn IntentXT back on, or Load unpacked again on the same folder.

What IntentXT does

You set…	IntentXT finds…	You do…
Target keywords (+ optional negatives)	Matching posts on Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook	Flag leads, draft AI replies, follow up manually
Company profile	Context for AI drafts	Copy/paste replies yourself (no auto-send)
Target subreddits + scan scope	Reddit matches in your communities (or all Reddit, minus noise hubs)	Review Inbox vs Filtered
Facebook group URLs (optional)	Keyword matches inside those groups	Review and flag

IntentXT is not a full CRM. It captures social intent leads and helps you draft helpful replies.

Platform requirements (important)

LinkedIn: You must be logged in to LinkedIn in Chrome while scanning. LinkedIn scans use your active browser session.

Facebook groups: Before a Facebook scan works, you must:

Be logged in to Facebook in Chrome
Be an approved member of each group you add
Use public Facebook groups only — private / secret groups are not supported

Reddit: Manual and Auto-Pilot Reddit scans do not require a special Reddit login step in the extension.

Extension overview

Keywords — add phrases, apply recipe packs, run scans
Inbox — high-confidence leads (plus collapsible Filtered / Low Confidence)
Saved — leads you keep (CSV export; optional Send to CRM)
Usage — credit deductions by action
Settings — profile, negatives, Reddit scope, AI pre-filter, groups, alerts, redeem codes

Setup checklist

Install from the Chrome Web Store. Payhip or AppSumo zip buyers: use Install from Payhip or AppSumo instead — do not use Developer mode for a Store install.
Sign in and sync with login.
Settings → company profile (needed for AI drafts).
Keywords — prefer intent phrases (not single noisy words), or apply an Intent Recipe Pack. First scan per keyword pulls about 30 days of history.
Negative keywords — filter hiring / spam noise (packs also merge common filters).
Settings → Reddit scan scope: keep Scrape Selected Subreddits Only (default); set Target Subreddits or add the B2B Outreach preset.
Leave AI intent pre-filter on so weak Reddit matches go to Filtered.
Optional Facebook groups — public URLs only; stay logged in and approved in each group.
For LinkedIn scans, stay logged in to LinkedIn in Chrome.
Confirm leads on the dashboard.
(Pro) Enable Auto-Pilot for background Reddit checks (~every 10 minutes).
Optional: enable Chrome Desktop Notifications and tap Send Test (allow Chrome in system settings; turn Do Not Disturb off if silent).

Keywords & matching

Prefer multi-word intent phrases. Single common words (help, crm, leads, …) create noise — the UI warns and offers phrase templates.
Keywords show the full phrase (text wraps; nothing truncated mid-phrase).
Badges: Exact Phrase (multi-word or quoted) vs Broad Intent (single unquoted token; still whole-word).
Templates: looking for a tool that…, recommend a software for…, how do you automate…, need an alternative to….
On Inbox and Saved, post titles wrap so you can read the full headline.

Intent Recipe Packs

On Keywords, open Intent Recipe Packs and pick a niche. Packs merge buyer phrases into your tracked list and add shared noise filters (hiring, job, etc.) without removing keywords you already added. Some packs also merge target subreddits.

Pack	Best for
Appointment Setting / Outbound Leads	Cold calling, setters, outbound partners
B2B SaaS / Growth	CRM, outbound, sales tools
Bookkeeping & Finance	CPA, QuickBooks, controllers
Marketing Agencies	Lead gen, PPC, outsourced marketing
Freelancers / Web Dev	Developers, designers
Home Services / Contractors	Remodelers, plumbers, renovations
Dental Practices	Dentists, Invisalign, dental offices
Travel & Hospitality	Travel agents, trips, group tours
Pest Control	Exterminators, termites, rodents
Real Estate / Property	Realtors, property managers, brokers
E-commerce / DTC	Shopify, carts, fulfillment

Reddit scan scope

Scrape Selected Subreddits Only (default) — your Target Subreddits, or the sales / B2B outreach default pool if empty.
Scan All Reddit — global search; still drops blacklisted noise hubs (AskReddit, memes, news, sports, etc.).
Use + Add B2B Outreach preset to merge common outbound communities.
Optional: Hide low-ticket gigs for unpaid / commission-only noise.

AI intent pre-filter & Filtered bucket

When AI intent pre-filter is on (Settings; default), Gemini checks each Reddit match before Inbox/alerts. High-confidence posts go to Inbox; low-confidence posts go to Filtered / Low Confidence (expand Show Filtered on Inbox). The pre-filter is free. If the classifier errors, IntentXT fail-opens so posts can still reach Inbox.

Scanning platforms

Manual: Keywords → Scan Reddit (free)
First scan per keyword: ~30 days of history
Later scans / Auto-Pilot: ~24-hour lookback
Auto-Pilot (Pro): ~every 10 minutes; no credit cost

Stay logged in to LinkedIn in the same Chrome browser
Keywords → Scan LinkedIn
First scan ~30 days; later scans use a shorter window

Facebook

Stay logged in to Facebook in Chrome
Add public group URLs in Settings (not private)
Be an approved member of each group
Keywords → Scan FB

Alerts & notifications

Chrome Desktop Notifications — use Send Test; allow Chrome in OS settings and turn Do Not Disturb off if the test is silent.
Slack / Discord webhook and Telegram — each has Send Test.
CRM / Zapier webhook — used by Send to CRM on Inbox and Saved.

Flagging leads & AI drafts

Save/flag a promising post from Inbox or while browsing.
Run AI draft (1 credit for Comment + Inquiry + DM).
Copy the draft and reply yourself — IntentXT never auto-sends.

All-Time ROI

On the Keywords / summary UI, All-Time ROI shows Signals Discovered (unique leads from Auto-Pilot + manual scans), Estimated Time Saved (~15 min per signal), and Estimated Pipeline Value: Inbox × $2 (raw) + Saved engaged (New / Drafted / Replied) × $50. Click the pencil to edit those dollar amounts. Subtext: “$2 per raw signal | $50 per engaged prospect” (or your custom values).

Pro status, Sync License & brief network issues

After you have signed in as Pro, IntentXT keeps Pro features available if a brief network/API glitch prevents a fresh license check. Signing out or switching accounts clears local Pro state as expected. After checkout (or if Pro looks stale), use Settings → Sync License / Restore Purchase.
