Is there a way for a speed dial extension to use some sort of communication mechanism to talk to an extension?

We have an extension that does mail checking, but it uses a pretty complex login process involving tokens and cookies. We don't have an RSS feed for our mail.

We'd like a way for the Speed Dial to ask the extension for new mail.

Is that possible?

Yes, you can use messaging to make the speed dial JS communicate with the background process. It works the same as normal message works in chromium based extensions.

  • Is there some way to add a speed dial component to an existing extension? Or does the speed dial always have to be a separate extension? – Mike Kaply Oct 24 '13 at 16:05
