Bardeen's playbook leverages YouTube video transcripts to draft personalized outreach emails quickly and efficiently. For professionals in sales prospecting, recruiting, and research, this automation saves time by generating email content from a video's key messages. Utilize this workflow to enhance engagement with prospects and leads by referencing specific content that resonates with them.

Here's how this workflow crafts an outreach email from a YouTube video transcript:

  • Step 1: Extract Video ID - Retrieves the YouTube video ID from the current page URL using a regular expression.
  • Step 2: Get Transcript URL - Constructs the URL for the YouTube video transcript by merging the base transcript URL with the video ID.
  • Step 3: Locate Transcript Link - Identifies the correct link to the transcript using the constructed URL.
  • Step 4: Scrape Transcript - Uses the Scraper to extract the transcript text from the YouTube video in the background.
  • Step 5: Summarize Transcript - OpenAI summarizes the scraped transcript into a concise paragraph that captures the essence of the video.
  • Step 6: Draft Email Content - Formulates the main body of the outreach email by combining the summary with personalized elements relevant to the recipient.
  • Step 7: Create Email Draft - Google Mail is then used to create a draft email with the content devised in the previous steps, ready for review and sending.
