Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Motion, Google slides, 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 Motion and Google slides integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Google slides (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Motion and Google slides

Motion + Google Slides + Slack: When a task is updated in Motion, the automation finds a specified Google Slides presentation and refreshes a chart within that presentation based on the Motion task data. A Slack message is then sent to notify relevant users about the updated presentation.

Motion + Google Slides + Google Calendar: When a Motion task is updated, the automation updates a specified chart in a Google Slides presentation. Then, it schedules a review meeting in Google Calendar to discuss the changes.
