Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with the information you want to save. Bardeen can extract the thread summary, author name, handle, number of likes, retweets, quotes, tweet link and profile image.

‍

‍

Once your setup is complete, Bardeen will extract all the information from a thread and save the information to your database with the correct fields.

‍

Step 2: Install the extension and integrate Airtable and Twitter scraper

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. The setup flow will start.

‍

You will be asked to specify an Airtable. After you choose the database, 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. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

‍

‍

Step 3: Run the automation to summarize the Twitter thread and save to Airtable

‍

Navigate to a Twitter thread, activate Bardeen (or hit OPTION + B) and run this playbook. It will get all the tweets, summarize the thread and save the summary along with information about the author and tweets to your Airtable.

‍

‍

 You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
