Orbit for Chrome
Orbit, working in your browser while you watch
The Orbit extension connects Chrome to Orbit for Windows. It fills in forms and clicks through websites in the browser you already use, signed in as you. Watch it work on the quote form below.
A browser window shows the Northwind Packaging quote form. Orbit fills in each field, then waits for you to approve before sending. Use the Orbit extension controls to start, pause, stop or approve.
