How does this automation work?
Organizing your emails into a structured format can significantly enhance productivity, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. Bardeen's "Copy all emails from a timeframe to Coda" playbook offers a seamless way to collate all your emails from a specific timeframe into a Coda table. This automation is ideal for businesses that need to archive communications, analyze email data, or prepare reports without the manual effort of sorting through emails.
Here's how this workflow simplifies email management:
- Step 1: Find Emails - Bardeen interacts with Google Mail to find all emails within a specified timeframe. You'll provide the start (After date) and end (Before date) dates to define the range of the search.
- Step 2: Save to Coda Table - After gathering the emails, Bardeen takes the data and adds it to a table in Coda, a flexible platform that combines documents and databases. You will need to specify the Coda document and table where you want the emails stored.

Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Create a Coda table
The first step is to create a Coda table with all the information you want to save.
Bardeen will extract information from the emails and get profile information like subject line, email body, the date the email was sent, the sender, Cc and ink to the email.
Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Gmail and Coda.

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start.
You will be asked to specify an after date and a before date. Enter the timeframe for the emails you want to save to Coda. For example, if you enter “today” for the before date input and “5 weeks ago” for the after date input, Bardeen will find all the emails that you received in the past 8 weeks and copy those to Coda.
Bardeen will also ask you to enter an email limit. If you wish to limit the emails to a certain number, you can populate this field.
After you choose the dates, the Coda table to save the information and the email limit, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Coda.
The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Coda that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Coda. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
