Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Coda table to save the information

The first step is to create a Coda table with the Google Trends information that you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from your selected Google Trends page and get trending item information like name, description, number of searches, source, trend link, date, preview link, and more.

Step 2: Install the extension and map the data to Coda

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.

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

You will be asked to specify a Coda table to save the trend information and the maximum number of items you would like to extract. 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. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Run the playbook to save information from Google Trends to Coda

Whenever you want to save Google Trends information to Coda, navigate to the Google Trends page.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will extract the information and save it to the Coda table that you specified in Step #1.
