Search Facebook Marketplace and tabulate results in Sheets
A user tries to have Claude in Chrome search Marketplace items and log them in a Google Sheet, but constant permission prompts get in the way.
- What They Did
- The poster tried to use the Claude Code Chrome extension to search Facebook Marketplace listings and enter the results into a Google Sheet. They enabled “Act without asking” and gave the extension full site access in Chrome, but once Claude opened Marketplace and then Sheets, it switched back to per-action approval so every click, read, and cell entry needed manual permission.
- How It Went
- It did not become a usable hands-off workflow: the thread says Facebook triggered an always-prompt mode, and another commenter said they could only get it to work by timing a click on an “always allow” popup when it appeared.
- Worth Knowing
- A commenter said even after fixing permissions they had to restart Claude Code with the --chrome flag; the bigger catch was Facebook causing repeated approval prompts on every action.

Search Facebook Marketplace near [city] for [item] under [price]. For the first [20] listings, record title, price, location, and link in a new Google Sheet. Finished means the sheet is filled and you tell me the top [3] deals. Do not message any sellers; show me the sheet first.
