Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Set up a Coda table
The first step is to set up a Coda table with the information you want to get.
Bardeen will get information like product name, one liner, description, link, upvotes, rating and reviews. It will then save all this information to Coda, once your setup is complete.
Step 2: Set up the automation to scrape data from Product Hunt
Click the “Try it” button at the top of this page to get this Autobook saved. If it’s your first time using Bardeen, you will be redirected to install the extension.
If you haven't previously integrated Coda, you will need to do so.
Bardeen will ask for a time to trigger the automation every day and a Coda database to save the information.Bardeen will also prompt you to enter the product post url that it will get information from.
After you choose the time, database and the product to track, 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!
Step 3: Try it!
Make sure the automation is activated (toggled on).
