1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Slides Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect, first sign in to your account. This is essential for accessing the integration features necessary for connecting Google Slides, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see a big blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’.

Click on this button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Google Slides from Google Sheets Rows and Store in Google Drive’. After clicking ‘Create’, your workflow will be set up, ready for the next steps. Make sure to open Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Google Drive to ensure a smooth integration process.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be when a new row is added or updated in Google Sheets. This action will initiate the workflow.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect.

Once the trigger is configured, every time a new row is added in Google Sheets, it will send data to Pabbly Connect, which will then trigger the next action in your workflow.

3. Creating Google Slides from Google Sheets Data

Next, you will set up the action to create Google Slides using the data from the newly added row in Google Sheets. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in transferring data between applications.

For this action, you need to select Google Slides as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Presentation from Template’. You will then need to map the fields from Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Google Slides, such as:

• Title of the presentation: Map this to the name of the student from Google Sheets.
• Content: Map this to the content field in your template.

After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the slide. This step demonstrates how Pabbly Connect effectively automates the creation of presentations based on input data.

4. Uploading the Created Slides to Google Drive

Once the Google Slides presentation is created, the next step involves uploading this presentation to Google Drive. This is done through Pabbly Connect, which facilitates the file upload process seamlessly.

To upload the slide, select Google Drive as the action application and choose the ‘Upload a File’ action. You will need to map the file ID of the newly created Google Slides presentation to this action. Additionally, specify the folder ID where the PDF will be stored. Here’s how:

Select the destination folder for the uploaded PDF. Map the URL of the PDF link generated from the previous step.

After completing this step, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the file has been successfully uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder. This showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in automating file management tasks.
