DK, congrats on the launch. You are onto something with data extraction. I like that you allow to correct the selectors, so that the data can be extracted more accurately, and typing.

I found the UI slight challenging because of a popup window that opens. Resizing is tricky. Overlay would make is so much easier.

Our team at Bardeen.ai has built a workflow automation tool. We also have a scraper to extract data. But our full automation engine (similar to Zapier/Integromat) allows to tap into the full power of web apps. Like creating a new Google Sheet / Airtable / Notion with the scraped data and then triggering follow up actions.

If you are curious, here is a “live build” that I did for the Twitter --> Airtable use case. https://www.bardeen.ai/posts/scrape-twitter

Jon mentioned in the other thread automated screenshots. We get screenshots of all of our dashboards from Google Analytics + Posthog sent to our Slack daily. https://www.bardeen.ai/playbooks/send-website-screenshots-in...

Either way, great job there! Love seeing new automation projects pop up.

P.S. - I saw there is an “input” action. Can I feed your automation tool a spreadsheet of data and have it fill out form? (one per row)

Thanks Renat! Bardeen looks slick and your team clearly put a ton of work into those integrations. Good stuff!

Not sure what you're referring to with the "input" action, but there's a "Loop Spreadsheet Rows" command that will let you perform a set of actions per row in a spreadsheet.
