- communication and communication;
- data collection;
- project planning;

But in the Playbooks section, you can find many templates for various applications and services.
When choosing a suitable card, Bardeen will offer to install an extension for Google Chrome. Unfortunately, nothing will work without it.
In the next step, you can clearly see how the card works. For example, here is the card Copy GitHub contributors to a Google Sheet. In addition to a text description of all the possibilities, there is a video with step-by-step work of the future shortcut.
As in Zapier, the next step is to connect the source and destination of the data.
