Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google slides, Knack, 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 Knack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Knack (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 Knack

Knack + Google Slides + Slack: When a new client record is created in Knack, a welcome presentation is automatically created in Google Slides using a template. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the team about the new client and the generated presentation.

Google Forms + Knack + Google Slides: When a new form response is received in Google Forms, the corresponding record in Knack is updated with the form data. An existing presentation in Google Slides related to that Knack record is then updated/refreshed to reflect the new data.
