Create a Coda table entry and attach the current page as PDF using Google Drive, when I right-click
This is a Bardeen playbook. It's a pre-built automation template you can run in one-click to perform a repetitive task. Get started with our free Chrome extension.
How does this automation work?
Bardeen's right-click automation offers a seamless workflow for capturing full-page screenshots of any website, uploading it to Google Drive, and creating a Coda table entry with the link to the uploaded file. This automation can be a game changer for research, data sourcing, or personal productivity tasks. It enables you to quickly capture and track important information from websites, saving time and improving efficiency.
Here is how this workflow works:
- Right-click on a website: The workflow is triggered when you right-click on the webpage you want to capture. This command prepares the website for the next step.
- Get current page as PDF: Bardeen takes a full-page screenshot of the current website and converts it into a PDF file. It's ready to be uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder.
- Upload file to Google Drive: The PDF file is then uploaded to your Google Drive. Google Drive is a file storage service that allows users to store files in the cloud, synchronize files across devices, and share files. You will need to specify the Google Drive folder where the file will be uploaded.
- Add data to Coda table: With the PDF now stored in Google Drive, the workflow creates a new entry in your specified Coda table with a link to the uploaded file. Coda is a flexible platform that combines documents, spreadsheets, and apps into a single canvas.
- Open browser notification: Finally, a browser notification is opened to confirm that the Coda entry has been created. This ensures you're always aware when the workflow has completed.
