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

Set Up the Google slides and Motion 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, Motion, 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 Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Motion (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 Motion
Google Slides + Motion + Slack: When a new presentation is created in Google Slides, a task is created in Motion to review the presentation. Once the task is created in Motion, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team about the new presentation and review task.
Motion + Google Slides + Google Calendar: When a new task is created in Motion, automatically create a presentation outline in Google Slides using a template. Then schedule a review meeting in Google Calendar with relevant stakeholders.
