Manual data entry slows down even the best design teams. So we built a tool that removes it entirely.

With Add from URL, we've transformed product sourcing from a multi-step ordeal into a single effortless action.

Simply paste a product link from any supplier's website and watch as that item appears in your Schedule, complete with the images and specs you need automatically populated. No switching between tools, no repetitive typing, no frustration—just seamless efficiency that lets you focus on what matters: designing.

What it does

Paste the link. We’ll take care of the rest. Programa scans the product page and pulls key details - product name, brand, dimensions, materials, pricing, and imagery - automatically added to your Sidetray.

It doesn’t rely on a separate browser extension, which means it works across all modern browsers - and yes, it’s tablet-friendly.

Tablet-friendly update

Add from URL doesn’t rely on the Web Clipper, so it works perfectly on tablets. There are no extensions or limitations - just paste a link and spec on the go.

How it helps

Designers spend hours retyping specs, chasing product details, and juggling tools. Add from URL speeds up sourcing, reduces admin, and keeps your team working inside Programa - where everything stays connected.

It works across categories like furniture, lighting, finishes, fixtures, and more. It’s also much faster on iPad, giving you the freedom to spec from anywhere.

Where to find it

Inside any Schedule, click the 'Add from URL' button next to 'Add from Product Library'

Paste your link, press Add, and watch the product populate. If a supplier isn’t yet supported or something doesn’t load correctly, let us know - we’re always expanding and improving compatibility.

Instantly Turn Product Links Into Specs

Manual spec entry slows down even the best projects. That’s why Programa now includes the Add-from-URL Tool—a smarter way to add products directly to your Schedule.

No more switching tabs, copying details, or filling in specs line by line. Just paste a product page link, and Programa will extract the key info for you—name, dimensions, finishes, supplier, and more.

How It Works

  1. Find a product you want to spec
  2. Copy the product page URL from the supplier’s website
  3. Paste it into Programa’s Add-from-URL Tool (in any Schedule)
  4. Watch the specs appear automatically in the right section

You can even paste multiple links in a row to speed things up.

Whether you’re building FF&E schedules, lighting specs, or finish boards, this tool is built to simplify the heavy lifting.

  • Saves Time: Add products in seconds—no back-and-forth or double entry
  • Reduces Errors: Avoid mistakes from copy-pasting or typos
  • Keeps You Focused: Stay inside Programa—no extra browser tabs or spreadsheets
  • Speeds Up Client Changes: Instantly drop in last-minute substitutions from supplier sites
Pro Tip: Combine this tool with our Web Clipper and Product Library for a complete spec sourcing workflow.
