No-code Automations
Build automations that pull data from any page into Google Sheets when you use on a website—no code. Start with a template, map columns, and run.
The no-code automation builder provides a drag-and-drop interface where you can visually create data processing workflows without writing any code. Think of it like building with building blocks - each block has a specific purpose, and you connect them together to create complex data processing workflows to save time.
Page Content Automations
Whole-page extraction for tables, lists, and bulk data
Process the entire webpage content. Save everything you need from a page as one complete row, or many rows, at once.
How to Use:
Page Content automations can be triggered using keyboard shortcuts (assign custom shortcuts for quick access) or accessed through the extension's side panel. Once you've built and saved your automation, you can run it from either location.
Best For:
Perfect for email extraction from contact pages, product data collection from e-commerce sites, article content processing, and any bulk data extraction tasks where you need to create a row from different parts of content on the page.
Right Click Automations
One-off captures from selected text, links, or image URLs
Create automations that work with selected text, images, links, or other specific page elements. Perfect for quick, targeted data extraction and processing.
How to Use:
Right Click automations are available from the right-click menu once you've saved them. Simply right-click on any page element and select your automation from the context menu.
Best For:
Ideal for quick text saving and formatting, image URL and metadata extraction, link processing and saving, and any targeted content capture where you want to work with specific selected elements rather than processing entire pages.
