How to connect Google slides and Podio
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google slides and Podio
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 Podio will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google slides or Podio, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google slides, Podio, 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 Podio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google slides and Podio (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 Podio
Google Slides + Slack + Podio: When a new presentation is created in Google Slides, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel to notify stakeholders, and a task is created in Podio to review the presentation.
