Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create a Coda table

The first step is to create a Coda table with all the book information you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Amazon books series list and get information like title, author, summary, item number, rating, stars, link and page link. It will then save all this information to Coda, once your setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and run the playbook

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.

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify a Coda table and the maximum number of books you want to save from the list. After you choose the database and maximum number of items, 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. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Start saving!

Whenever you want to save a list of books to Coda, navigate to the books list. 

Activate Bardeen (or hit OPTION + B) and run this playbook. It will extract information like title, summary, author name, ratings, stars and book links. Bardeen will then save all this information to your Coda table.

This automation is fantastic if you are an individual who loves reading and maintaining personal libraries. You can utilize this automation to create a structured database of your book series. You can easily keep track of titles, authors, publication dates, and other relevant details in one centralized location.

Librarians and bookstores can employ this automation to efficiently manage their book collections. They can extract data from Amazon books series lists and save it to Airtable, enabling them to organize and categorize books accurately, streamline inventory management, and provide better assistance to patrons or customers.
