Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create An Airtable to save Meetup.com events

The first step is to create an Airtable with all the Meetup.com information you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Meetup.com event search page and get information like event name, image, group name, date, number of attendees, and more. 

Step 2: Install the extension and map data from Meetup scraper to Airtable

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and click on the playbook card. The setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify a database and the maximum number of events you would like to save. After you choose the database and maximum number of Meetup.com events,  you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable 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 Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
