Add web apps on startup

Post by Redphantom »

Is there any way to launch certain web apps on startup? I want to add my google keep webapp to launch itself on startup. I searched online and tinkered with webapp-manager command line utility, apparently you can't pass any argument into that. Any knowledge on this? My system information is here

It's called Session and Startup unless they've changed the name.

After you add a website to webapp-manager, it will populate the website to start menu under web category. Right click the auto-generated launcher > Edit Applications. There you can copy the command line required to launch the webapp. Copy that command line to "Session and Startup" > Application AutoStart > "+"
