Bardeen's workflow automation enhances personal productivity by allowing you to capture and organize information quickly. With this Playbook, anytime you come across valuable text during your research or browsing, you can save it to a Coda table with a simple right-click action. This feature is particularly helpful for content curators, researchers, and anyone who regularly collects data for knowledge accumulation or project management.
Here's how this workflow simplifies saving information directly to Coda with a right-click:
- Step 1: Trigger on Right-Click - When you right-click on a web page, Bardeen prepares to save the selected text to your specified Coda document and table. Just select the text you want to capture and right-click to initiate the process.
- Step 2: Save Text to Coda - The selected text is then automatically added to your chosen Coda table. Coda acts as a versatile document platform that combines notes, spreadsheets, and tasks into one interface.
- Step 3: Confirmation Notification - After the text is saved, you will receive a browser notification confirming the action and providing a link to the Coda table where the text has been stored, so you can easily access and review your saved data.
How to run the playbook
Adding data to a Coda table manually can be tedious, especially if you need to do it often. This playbook will automate the process so you can save any selected text on a webpage to a Coda table with a right click.
Here's how to set it up:
Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Coda
First, click the 'Pin it' button at the top of this page to save this automation. You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Coda.
Create a Coda table that that will contain your text and link to the page.
Step 2: Set up the automation
Bardeen will ask you to choose the Coda table you have created in Step #1. It will also ask you to map the information to the fields in your table.
Step 3: Run the playbook
Make sure the playbook is active (toggled on).
Select any text on a webpage, right click and choose "Save selected text to Coda" to run the automation. The selected text and link to the page will be saved to your Coda table.
That's it! Now you can save selected text to a Coda table with a right click.
