How does this automation work?
Bardeen's playbook leverages OpenAI to summarize the content of the current webpage and sends it to WhatsApp for quick information sharing. This playbook is ideal for professionals who want to quickly capture the essence of online materials and communicate them to colleagues or clients without leaving their workflow.
Here's how this workflow operates:
- Step 1: Capture Current Page - This command retrieves the HTML content of the page you are currently viewing.
- Step 2: Convert HTML to Text - The HTML content is then converted into plain text, ensuring it is ready for analysis.
- Step 3: Summarize Text with OpenAI - Using OpenAI's GPT-3, the playbook provides a concise summary of the text obtained from the page.
- Step 4: Get Current Page Title - It also retrieves the title of the current webpage for context.
- Step 5: Prepare Message Content - The summary and the page title are merged into a message format.
- Step 6: Send to WhatsApp - The final step is sending the prepared summary directly to your WhatsApp contact.
