Steps:

Bardeen's workflow automation offers a seamless way to create summaries of YouTube videos using OpenAI's advanced language models. This automation is especially valuable for content creators, marketers, and researchers who need to distill information from video content quickly. By saving these summaries to Google Sheets, you can easily access, share, and analyze the video content data for various applications, such as content strategy and research documentation.

Here's how this workflow automates the process of generating a summary from a YouTube video and saving it to Google Sheets:

  • Step 1: Extract Video ID - This step finds the YouTube video ID from the current page URL using a regular expression.
  • Step 2: Build Transcript URL - Bardeen constructs the URL for the YouTube transcript by merging the video ID with the transcript service's base URL.
  • Step 3: Scrape Transcript - The scraper retrieves the video's transcript from the constructed URL in the background without manual intervention.
  • Step 4: Generate Summary - OpenAI's language model is utilized to produce a concise summary of the scraped transcript.
  • Step 5: Save to Google Sheets - Finally, the AI-generated summary is appended to a specified Google Sheets document for easy access and collaboration.

With our new Bardeen version, you can easily extract data from any website and discover new leads across the web. After extracting data from a website, use Bardeen’s powerful automation tools to validate and enrich your data, run additional scrapers on linked pages, or leverage AI to qualify leads and generate content automatically. Once your data is ready, you can easily export it to CSV, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion for further analysis and reporting.

How Bardeen integrates with your existing system:
With Bardeen, you can easily import and export data to spreadsheets or CSV files, then push it to your favorite CRM or outreach tool — like Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apollo.io, or any platform that supports CSV.
