Here's how this workflow saves data from Google News to a Coda table:

Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Create A Coda table
The first step is to create a Coda table with the Google News information that you want to save.
Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Google News page and save information like headline, description, date, publication, and link. It will then save all this information to your Coda table once your setup is complete.
Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook to save data from the Google News page to Coda
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 the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. If it’s your first time using Bardeen, you will be redirected to install the extension.
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 Coda table and the maximum number of items you would like to extract. After you choose 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. This will save you time from setup in the future. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
