I frequently place links, images and snippets from online articles in my data room which is built in Wordpress and requires login. I want to be able to trigger a Bardeen automation to:
copy the article url, featured image and title
copy a snippet which I can select either before triggering the automation or during the automation
log into the Data Room and add a new post using the data above
I can figure out how to scrape everything except the snippet and I am not sure how to set the automation to log into the Data Room so that I can complete the task.
Do you mean that you would like to select snippet on webpage while/before running the automation? Would it work if you just copy/paste text of it?
Regarding the Data Room login, we do not collect login credentials. As long as you are logged in with your browser, Bardeen will be able to access that website on your behalf. But when it comes to creating posts, I believe creating a scraper for that will be the only solution. I suggest utilizing “Input” and “Click” actions. Here is our general guide that I suggest you to look through: https://support.bardeen.ai/hc/en-us/articles/23925200748173-How-to-use-Bardeen-scraper
If there’s anything else I can check for you, please let me know.
For the snippet part, I can suggest the next. Our builder allows you to set variables almost anywhere in the building process, so let’s say if you would like to export scraped article to a google sheet, you can create a column for snippet and select value for it “Ask me every time”:
This way when you run the automation, it will ask you to paste a snippet, then it will scrape the rest and export scraped data + your snippet to a google sheet. The same you can do if you are to use the data in any other actions.
Also it might be useful for you to know that you can create an autobook that can run with a right-click action: https://support.bardeen.ai/hc/en-us/articles/23925118331277-Creating-Autobooks For example, you can right-click on an article and select from context menu something like “Scrape article”, this will start the automation.
