Keeping track of an extensive range of apps can be a real headache! But worry not, this automation has got your back. With a few simple steps, it effortlessly captures all the app information and neatly organizes it in Airtable.

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create an Airtable to save app information

The first step is to create an Airtable with the app information that you want to save.

Bardeen will extract information from the currently opened Zapier apps page and get information like name, description, app image and link. It will then save all this information to your Airtable, once your setup is complete.

Step 2: Install the extension and map data from scraper to Airtable

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

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 your database and the maximum number of apps you would like to get and save. After you choose the database and app number, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable 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 Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Run the playbook and save the Zapier apps page to Airtable

Whenever you want to save a list or category of apps from Zapier to your Airtable, navigate to the results page on Zapier.

Activate Bardeen (or hit Option + B on Mac or ALT + B on PC on your keyboard) and run this playbook. It will get the apps, descriptions, images and links from the Zapier apps page and save the information to your database.

This automation is fantastic if you are running an e-commerce store that involves integrating various apps, such as payment gateways, inventory systems, and email marketing tools, into Zapier for seamless operations. With the Playbook's ability to extract and save app information to Airtable, store owners can easily keep track of their app integrations, review performance, and make informed decisions to optimize their business processes.

For teams working on collaborative projects, there's often a need to manage multiple apps to streamline workflows. The Playbook becomes a valuable asset in this scenario by automatically creating an up-to-date list of integrated apps. Team members can access this information in Airtable, ensuring everyone is on the same page, minimizing communication gaps, and fostering smoother collaboration.

This way, they can quickly showcase their proficiency with various tools and services to potential clients, increasing their chances of securing new projects. Additionally, having a centralized record of integrated apps facilitates easier troubleshooting and optimization of automation processes.
