Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with all the information you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Google Maps search cards like business name, image, type of business, location, phone number, rating, card URL, and more! It will then save the information to your Airtable once your setup is complete.

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 Airtable.

Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. 

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify your database and the number of Google Maps cards you would like to save. After you choose the database and number of cards, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable 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 Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Run the automation to scrape Google Maps results to Airtable

To save information from Google Maps search cards to Airtable in one click, complete your Google Maps search and navigate to the search results page.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will open each card, extract the information and add all of the details to the Airtable that you specified in Step #1.
