How to connect Google slides and Knack
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google slides and Knack
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 Knack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google slides or Knack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Set Up the Google slides and Knack Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- 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.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

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.
