Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google slides, Captions, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google slides and Captions integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Captions (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google slides and Captions
Google Slides + Captions + Google Drive: When a new presentation is created in Google Slides, the automation submits a request to Captions to generate a transcript. Once the transcript is available, it's saved as a text file in Google Drive for archival and easy access.
Captions + Google Slides + Slack: When a video translation request is submitted via Captions, indicating a slide presentation is being captioned, a Slack alert is sent to a specified channel summarizing that a new presentation is being captioned via Captions.
