TLDR
This month’s release contains 3 major features (the Bardeen ChatGPT plugin, and integrations for Calendly and Salesforce) as well as some important improvements & fixes.
New Features
Chat GPT Bardeen Plugin
Instead of having to go to the Bardeen extension, you can now create your favorite Bardeen commands directly from Chat-GPT.
Suppose you want to summarize the contents of a website and save the summary into a Google doc. You can type into Chat-GPT “summarize the contents of the current page and save the results into a Google doc,” and Chat-GPT will recognize the relevant automation, and create a link for the appropriate playbook. Check it out below:
To get started, make sure you have a Chat-GPT Plus account and are using GPT-4. You can then add the Bardeen plugin as shown in the animation below:
Salesforce Integration
Today we’re introducing our integration with Salesforce. You can seamlessly create and get Salesforce contacts, accounts, opportunities using Bardeen from websites like Linkedin, Crunchbase, and Producthunt without switching context. You can easily store your Salesforce data in tools like Notion, Airtable, and Google Sheets. We’ve attached a list of the current Salesforce actions for reference.
To get started, add ‘Salesforce’ as an application in Bardeen (feel free to refer to the visual below).
Now you can proceed to use the Salesforce automations. Our favorites are creating Salesforce contacts from a Linkedin profile, and creating Salesforce accounts from Crunchbase company data.
Calendly Integration
We’ve built an integration with Calendly that allows you to share a single-use booking link, as well as “get” all of your events, and filter by whether or not they are active.
Here is a sample workflow: Get my currently active Calendly event → then generate a single access link for that Calendly event. You can also combine this with our email automations to allow you to send a Calendly link depending on a trigger. For instance, the trigger could be an email with the word “interview,” and in response, Calendly could send a link out for your “interview” event.
Clearbit Company Enrichment Action
We’ve added a new action to our Clearbit integration that allows users to enter the URL of a company and have Clearbit fetch associated information about the company ranging from the Crunchbase handle to the number of Twitter Followers (see full list below):
See the animation below for a demo of the playbook of Clearbit enriching data on the company Trello:
