Copied from our Release Notes.

TLDR

This month’s release contains one major feature (the ability to have Bardeen auto-suggest scraping models). Otherwise, we resolved bugs and improved performance in multiple areas including Salesforce, the results produced by Magicbox, and the UI for displaying and purchasing Bardeen credits.

New Features

Scraper Model Suggestions

You can now use auto-generated suggestion scraper models to scrape a web page in addition to still being able to create your own mode for scraping.

Our model looks at the page and intuits object types that you are likely looking to scrape, and makes it much easier to use. You can extend and build on top of the model generated by Bardeen to further customize how you scrape the data. We also have over 100+ scraper models that you can use as a starting point for your scraper.

Announcements

We recently migrated our community from Slack to Discourse to provide a better user experience for community members. Discourse provides a couple of key advantages – here are my favorite three:

  1. Getting help. Discourse provides a better format for getting help and asking questions to both people in the community and at Bardeen to ensure you quickly figure out and resolve any issues you might have.
  2. Vote on ideas / bugs directly in Discourse. Instead of reporting your issues and ideas on a separate platform (we used Canny), you can now upvote others’ ideas or bugs to prioritize them in Discourse. Everything is centralized in a single platform and is shared directly with the Bardeen team.
  3. Learning about Bardeen. Like any new skill, learning about the automations takes practice. Discourse provides a great knowledge base of valuable resources curated by Bardeen’s team.

Find out more in the community! We will officially only be using Discourse by the end of July for our support platform.

Note: unfortunately we will be disabling Tweet fetching actions due to Twitter’s pricing model. You will still be able to use our other Twitter actions, like posting tweets as well as following user profiles.
