How does this automation work?
Bardeen's automation playbook enables you to collect data from Product Hunt product pages and organize it efficiently in a Coda table. For professionals involved in market research, competitor analysis, or product development, keeping track of innovative products is paramount. This workflow extracts product data from Product Hunt, a platform known for featuring new and trending tech products, and saves it to Coda, which acts as a dynamic database for your research and project management needs.
Here's how this workflow extracts product data from Product Hunt and saves it in Coda:
- Step 1: Scrape Product Hunt Data - Bardeen uses its Scraper integration to extract data from the active tab on Product Hunt. The Scraper template is specifically designed for Product Hunt posts to ensure accurate data extraction.
- Step 2: Save Data in Coda - Once the data is collected, Bardeen adds a new record to a Coda table. Coda combines documents and spreadsheets into a single canvas, making it an ideal place to store and manipulate data.
How to run the playbook

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 capture.
Bardeen will extract information from a product’s page like name, one liner, description, rating, upvotes, link and more.
Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook to scrape data from Product Hunt
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.
Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks.
Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start.
You will be asked to specify a Coda table. After you choose the database, 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. This will save you time in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Step 3: Start saving!
Whenever you want to copy a Product Hunt product to Coda, navigate to the product page in Product Hunt, activate Bardeen (or hit OPTION + B) and run this playbook. It will get all the information from the page and save it to your specified Coda table.
You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
