1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Slides Automation

To create Google Slides from Google Sheets in bulk automatically, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform facilitates the integration between Google Sheets and Google Slides seamlessly. First, ensure you have a Google Sheet ready with the necessary data you wish to use for your slides.

Once you log into Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow. Click on the blue button to start a new automation and name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Create Google Slides in Bulk from Google Sheets’. After naming, select the folder where you want this workflow to reside and click on ‘Create’.

2. Configuring Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow, you will see two sections for trigger and action. The trigger indicates when the automation starts, and the action shows what happens next. For this automation, select Google Sheets as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Spreadsheet Row’. This means that every time a new row is added in Google Sheets, it will trigger the action.

• Select the trigger event as ‘New Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• In Google Sheets, navigate to Extensions, then Add-ons, and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.

After installation, go back to your Google Sheet, click on Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and then Initial Setup. Paste the copied webhook URL here. Set the trigger column to the last column (for example, column E) where data will be entered to trigger the automation. Finally, send a test to ensure everything is working correctly.

3. Creating Google Slides from a Template Using Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action that creates Google Slides. Select Google Slides as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create Presentation from Template’. This allows you to use a pre-defined template for your slides, making the process efficient.

When prompted, connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect if you haven’t done this before. Once connected, select the template you wish to use. The variables you included in your template will be available to map with the data from your Google Sheet.

• Map the fields in your Google Slides template to the corresponding data from Google Sheets.
• Set the title of the presentation dynamically using mapped data.
• Select the folder in Google Drive where the presentations will be saved.

After configuring these settings, test the action to ensure that the Google Slides are created correctly based on the data from your Google Sheets. If successful, you will see the new slides in the specified Google Drive folder.

4. Dynamic Image Insertion in Google Slides Using Pabbly Connect

To enhance your presentations, you can also insert images dynamically into the Google Slides. This can be done by adding a new action in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select the action ‘Upload Image in Presentation’ and connect it to the same Google Slides account.

In this step, you will need to provide the URL of the image you want to insert into the slides. Ensure that the image URL is also mapped from the data collected from Google Sheets. This allows for unique images to be added to each presentation based on the data input.

Select the presentation where the image will be uploaded. Map the image URL from your Google Sheets data. Choose the method for image placement (center or cropped).

After configuring the image upload action, test it to confirm that images are inserted correctly into the Google Slides. This adds a personalized touch to each presentation created through your automation.

5. Conclusion: Automate Google Slides Creation with Pabbly Connect

Using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the creation of Google Slides from Google Sheets in bulk, saving time and effort. The integration allows for real-time data processing, ensuring that every time you add new data in Google Sheets, corresponding Google Slides are generated automatically.
