Upwex uses your Upwork freelancer profile as the foundation for AI-generated content \u2013 your title, overview, skills, hourly rate and work history all feed into the models that write your cover letters. Without a synced profile, AI output will be generic.<\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2013 Open the extension popup<\/h2>\n

Click the Upwex icon<\/strong> in your Chrome toolbar. Inside the popup you’ll see your account card and an Upwork Profile<\/strong> section. Until you sync, that section shows “No profile data”<\/em> with two action buttons underneath: Sync<\/strong> and Manual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Upwex<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Click Sync (recommended)<\/h2>\n

The Sync<\/strong> button is the fastest path. Upwex opens your Upwork freelancer profile page in a new background tab, extracts the data, syncs it to your account, and closes the tab automatically. Within a few seconds the popup updates: the avatar, name and title appear in the Upwork Profile section, the dropdown becomes interactive, and a green toast confirms the sync.<\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Manual URL method<\/h2>\n

Use this if the automatic Sync can’t extract your profile (e.g., you’re not currently logged into Upwork in this browser, you want to sync a different freelancer, or Upwork rate-limited the auto flow):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click Manual<\/strong> \u2013 a URL input field appears under the buttons.<\/li>\n
  2. Paste an Upwork freelancer URL: https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/freelancers\/~your-id<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Click the small sync icon<\/strong> next to the input \u2013 Upwex opens that profile in a background tab and syncs it the same way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Upwex<\/p>\n

    Step 4 \u2013 Re-sync from your Upwork freelancer page<\/h2>\n

    Once a profile is synced, Upwex starts showing a small floating widget on that freelancer’s Upwork page (upwork.com\/freelancers\/~your-id<\/code>) in the bottom-left corner with an Update Profile<\/strong> button. Click it any time you want to push the latest profile changes \u2013 overview, skills, hourly rate, portfolio \u2013 into Upwex without opening the extension popup.<\/p>\n

    Note: the widget only appears for profiles that already exist in your Upwex account. For brand-new profiles use Steps 1\u20133 first. See the Profile Sync widget<\/em> article for the full state machine.<\/p>\n

    What gets synced?<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Title, overview, skills list, portfolio items, hourly rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      No private data like earnings, messages or payment info is synced \u2013 only what’s publicly visible on your profile.<\/p>\n

      How often to re-sync<\/h2>\n

      When you update your Upwork profile (new skills, new overview), re-sync to keep AI output fresh \u2013 either via the popup (Step 2) or the on-page widget (Step 4). A good habit: re-sync once a month or after major profile edits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
