Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Harvest (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 Harvest
Harvest + Google Slides + Slack: When a new time entry is logged in Harvest for a project, a designated slide in a Google Slides presentation is updated with the new time information. A notification is then sent to a specific Slack channel informing the project team of the update.
Harvest + Google Sheets + Google Slides: When a new time entry is added to Harvest, the details are automatically added to a Google Sheet. The data from the Google Sheet is then used to refresh charts within a Google Slides presentation, ensuring project status slides are always up-to-date.
