How to connect Google slides and Google Sheets
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google slides and Google Sheets
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google slides, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google slides or Google Sheets will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google slides or Google Sheets, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google slides Node
Select the Google slides node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google slides, Google Sheets, 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 Google Sheets integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Google Sheets (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 Google Sheets
Google Slides + Google Sheets + Slack: When a Google Slides presentation is updated, the automation will log these updates in a Google Sheet. Then, a notification about the update will be sent to a designated Slack channel.
Google Sheets + Google Slides + Gmail: Use data from Google Sheets to automatically generate personalized Google Slides presentations. These presentations will then be sent as attachments via Gmail to the recipients listed in the Google Sheet.
