How does this automation work?
How to run the playbook
Searching the web for relevant information can be time-consuming, especially when trying to filter results by specific queries, languages, and countries. This Playbook streamlines the process by automatically gathering search results according to your criteria and saving them directly to a Microsoft Excel Worksheet.
This automation addresses the common frustrations of manually compiling data and sifting through irrelevant results. It’s perfect for tasks like market research, competitive analysis, or aggregating data from various sources.
By automating the data collection and organization, you save valuable time and ensure that all relevant search results are neatly compiled and readily accessible in your Excel file.
Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Microsoft Excel
You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time.
Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks, if you already have the Bardeen extension installed. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Microsoft Excel.
To use the Playbook, navigate to a web page.
Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click to “run the playbook”.
The playbook will ask you to specify your criteria for your search results. You will need to specify the search query, date range, country and language, safe search and number of results. The automation will also ask you for the name of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that you want your results to be saved.
Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Microsoft Excel. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
Step 2: Run the playbook to get search results from the web and save to Microsoft Excel
To get search results from the web, run the playbook.
It will get search results from the web based on your query, language and country preferences. It will then save the results to your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
