Article Summary

Whatfix enables you to create a landing page for your Extension deployment to individuals for Chrome and Firefox extensions. This can be used when you cannot mass deploy extensions to your users.

Share the landing page URL with your users and they can install the extension by visiting the page and following the instructions.

To get a landing page for your extension, get in touch with your Whatfix Account Manager or contact support@whatfix.com.
