Bardeen allows you to save any selected text directly to a Notion database with a simple right-click. This Playbook is perfect for quickly capturing valuable information and ideas on the fly, without having to leave your current browsing session. You will be able to save time and increase your personal productivity by eliminating the need to switch between different apps to note down information.

Here is how this workflow works:

  1. Right-click trigger: The workflow is initiated when you right-click on a website. The selected text on the page is captured for use in the following steps.
  2. Create Notion page: Bardeen creates a new page in your specified Notion database. The selected text captured in the previous step is used as the content of the new Notion page. Notion is an all-in-one workspace where you can write, plan, collaborate, and organise.
  3. Get current page URL: The URL of the current page is obtained. This can be useful for referencing where the selected text was captured from.
  4. Open browser notification: A browser notification is shown to confirm that the selected text has been successfully saved to Notion. The notification includes a link to the newly created Notion page, allowing you to easily navigate to it if needed.
