How does this automation work?
With the rapid growth of video content, keeping track of your favorite YouTube videos is crucial for research and data sourcing. Bardeen's playbook allows you to instantly save and organize YouTube video details into a Coda table, enabling you to create a curated repository of video resources. This is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and educators who need to reference videos frequently.
Here's how this workflow saves YouTube video details to Coda:
- Step 1: Scrape YouTube video details - Bardeen's Scraper visits the currently opened YouTube video page to extract important details such as title, views, and uploader information, using a preset YouTube video details template.
- Step 2: Save to Coda table - The extracted video details are then automatically saved into a specified Coda document and table, providing a streamlined way to organize and access video data.

Let’s set it up!
Step 1: Create a Coda table
The first step is to create a Coda table with all the YouTube video information you want to save.
Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened YouTube video and save information like video title, video description, channel name, channel link, subscribers, number of views, number of comments, and number of likes. It will then save all this information to your Coda table that you specified once the 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.
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 the Coda table that you created in Step #1. 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. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
