AI Product Update: Add Products from URL Tool

Paste the Link. Build the Schedule.

Updated: 04 September 2024

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

With Add from URL, you can paste a product link from a supplier’s website and drop that item straight into your Schedule. No back and forth, no double handling.

What it does

Paste the link. We’ll do the rest. Programa scans the product page and pulls in key spec details like:

  • Product name
  • Brand
  • Dimensions
  • Materials
  • Price
  • Imagery (automatically added to the Sidetray)

You’ll skip:

  • Copying data field-by-field
  • Flipping between tabs and folders
  • Saving and re-uploading images
  • Re-entering specs you’ve already sourced

 

How it helps:

Designers spend hours each week re-typing specs, chasing images, and toggling between tabs. Add from URL keeps your workflow moving:

  • Speeds up sourcing + schedule building
  • Reduces admin and human error
  • Keeps your team inside Programa
  • Works across furniture, lighting, fixtures, finishes, and more
  • Supports batch entry—keep adding links without waiting

Where can you find the tool?

Inside any Schedule, look for the Add from URL button next to Add from Product Library. Paste your link, press Add, and watch it land. If a supplier’s site isn’t supported yet or something doesn’t load quite right, let our team know. We’re always improving.

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.

Why It Matters

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.

 

Your New Shortcut for Smart Scheduling

The Add-from-URL Tool is now live and ready in every Programa schedule. Whether you’re a solo designer or running a full studio, it’s one of those small tools that can make a big difference.

Try it out on your next project—and spend less time typing, more time designing.
