Is there any way to pass parameters when installing Chrome Extensions?

[Patrick Nogueira]

I have a Chrome Extension that creates a UNIQUE ID for each user who install it.
This ID have a prefix that I would like to customize depending from where the user install my extension

Example, if the user comes to my page from google search I would like to pass a prefix 800 to this user if he install the extension
If the user comes from facebook I would like to pass a prefix 700.

Is there any way from my page to inside my extension? Today I use inline install.

Thank you.

You can create a page on your server for example:

http://www.example.com/new_user_id.php

This page, will create a cookie, and redirect to your chrome web store item:

Your extension, will make an AJAX request to your page, to see the cookie on your server.
