1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Slides Integration

To automatically insert images in Google Slides presentations, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation platform serves as the central hub for integrating various applications, including Google Sheets and Google Slides.

Log into your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow that will connect your Google Sheets data to Google Slides, enabling seamless image insertion based on the data from your spreadsheet.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Before proceeding, ensure your Google Sheets is ready with the necessary data. Your sheet should include details such as competition names, cities, dates, and image URLs. Pabbly Connect will pull this data to generate your slides.

• Ensure your spreadsheet has columns for competition name, city, date, and image URL.
• Verify that the image URLs are accessible and correctly formatted.

Once your data is organized, return to Pabbly Connect to set up the integration. This step will involve selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application and configuring it to fetch data from the first row of your sheet.

3. Creating Google Slides Presentations with Pabbly Connect

After setting up Google Sheets, the next step is to create a new presentation in Google Slides using Pabbly Connect. Here, you will select the action event to create a presentation based on your chosen template.

In the action event settings, choose the existing connection to your Google Slides account. If you’re a new user, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Slides. Select the competition banner template and map the fields from your Google Sheets to the relevant fields in the presentation.

• Map the competition name to the title field.
• Include the city name in the presentation title.

Once all fields are mapped, save and send the test request. This will create a new Google Slides presentation with the mapped data from your Google Sheets.

4. Uploading Images to Google Slides with Pabbly Connect

After creating the presentation, the next step is to upload the images using Pabbly Connect. Search for the Google Slides application again and select the action event to upload an image in the presentation.

Connect to the existing Google Slides connection and select the presentation you just created. Map the image URL from Google Sheets to the image upload field. This ensures that the correct image is uploaded based on the competition details.

Choose the correct slide where the image should be inserted. Set the image replacement method to ‘Center Inside’.

Save and send the test request to upload the image. Upon successful execution, the image will be automatically replaced in the Google Slides presentation, showcasing the relevant competition image.

5. Executing the Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

With your workflow set up in Pabbly Connect, you can now execute the automation. Decide whether you want to run the automation in real-time or in bulk. If you choose real-time, enable the ‘Send on Event’ option.

For bulk operations, enable the ‘Send All Data’ option. This allows you to create multiple presentations simultaneously based on the entries in your Google Sheets. Refresh your Google Drive folder to see the newly created presentations populating automatically.

As you refresh, you will notice that each presentation has been populated with the appropriate images and data, demonstrating how effective Pabbly Connect is at automating tasks across applications.
