Bardeen's workflow automation enhances personal productivity by allowing you to capture and organize information quickly. With this Playbook, anytime you come across valuable text during your research or browsing, you can save it to a Coda table with a simple right-click action. This feature is particularly helpful for content curators, researchers, and anyone who regularly collects data for knowledge accumulation or project management.

Here's how this workflow simplifies saving information directly to Coda with a right-click:

  • Step 1: Trigger on Right-Click - When you right-click on a web page, Bardeen prepares to save the selected text to your specified Coda document and table. Just select the text you want to capture and right-click to initiate the process.
  • Step 2: Save Text to Coda - The selected text is then automatically added to your chosen Coda table. Coda acts as a versatile document platform that combines notes, spreadsheets, and tasks into one interface.
  • Step 3: Confirmation Notification - After the text is saved, you will receive a browser notification confirming the action and providing a link to the Coda table where the text has been stored, so you can easily access and review your saved data.
