Bardeen's playbook for saving webpage screenshots as PDFs to Dropbox directly from links listed in a Google Sheet is a game changer for research and content archiving. The ability to automate the conversion of web pages into PDFs and subsequently organizing them in Dropbox without manual intervention can significantly boost your team's efficiency, especially when dealing with extensive data sourcing and research tasks.

Here's how this workflow operates:

  • Step 1: Extract Table from Google Sheets - Bardeen retrieves the table content from a specified Google Sheet, providing the base data for the workflow.
  • Step 2: Select Column Data - From the extracted table, Bardeen isolates a specific column that contains the website links to be processed.
  • Step 3: Find Links in Text - Bardeen scans the selected column data to find all the website links that will be converted into PDF format.
  • Step 4: Convert to PDF - Each website link is visited and transformed into a full-page PDF screenshot, ready for storage.
  • Step 5: Save to Dropbox - The newly created PDF files are then uploaded to a designated Dropbox folder for easy access and organization.

Step 1: Pin the playbook and integrate Google Sheets and Dropbox to store the PDF files
