Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Coda table.

The first step is to create a Coda table with all the questions you want answered and a second Coda table with a field for all the answers you want to save.

‍

‍

Make sure to create a second table that will contain your answers. You will need to specify the second table during your playbook setup.

‍

‍

Bardeen will get your queries from the first database, generate answers for them using OpenAI and save them to your second database.

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 Coda.

‍

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

‍

You will be asked to specify your Coda table that contains the queries.  After you choose the database, Bardeen will ask you for the column name that contains the queries. Make sure to enter the column name correctly. Finally, you will get a prompt to specify an output Coda table for the results. 

‍

After you have chosen 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: Start saving!

When you want to get answers from OpenAI to a list of your questions, add them to your Coda table, activate Bardeen (or hit OPTION + B) and run this playbook. It will generate the answers and save them to your output Coda table.
