Deploy Chrome extension with Custom JSON configuration

Hello Jamf nation,

Need some guidance in deploying a chrome extension that uses a json file for configuration. The json file has the API key and license key.

The extension specifically is the Knowbe4 phish alert button. 

They have instructions to deploy via Chrome Cloud but that requires our users to sync chrome which creates a separate profile and removes all their custom extensions and data.

I was able to deploy the extension via the solution here:

This indeed does install the extension but no settings regarding the extension which renders it useless. Any ideas on how to deploy the extension along with the configuration file?

Did you find a solution for this?  I'm about to dive in as well.

@pseudopunk I ended up using the Cloud Management for Chrome so I can push extensions via google cloud here:

This allowed me to deploy the extension with the settings as well.
