1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Notion and Google Slides Integration

To automate the creation of Google Slides presentations from Notion database items, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account or create a new account if you don’t have one.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Generate Google Slides from Notion Automatically’ and click on ‘Create’. This will set the stage for the integration process.

2. Integrating Notion with Pabbly Connect

The next step is to integrate Notion with Pabbly Connect. In the trigger section, search for Notion and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Database Item’ which will initiate the workflow whenever a new item is added to your Notion database.

• Click on the ‘Connect’ button and select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account.
• Select the specific database you want to connect.

After the connection is established, you will need to test it to ensure that Pabbly Connect can capture the database item details correctly. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection works.

3. Creating Google Slides Presentations

Now that Notion is connected to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create Google Slides presentations using the data captured. In the action section, search for Google Slides and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Presentation from Template’ to utilize an existing template for generating slides.

Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect and select the template you wish to use. You can customize the presentation title and content by mapping data from the Notion database items that were captured earlier. For example, use the participant’s name and registration number as the title of the presentation.

• Map the participant name, competition name, and date of participation into the slide template.
• Ensure all variables are correctly placed in the template to automate the slide creation.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a sample presentation. This will confirm that your integration is functioning correctly.

4. Sending Certificates via Gmail

Once the Google Slides presentation is created, the next step is to send it via Gmail. Add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow and select Gmail. Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event to deliver the presentation to the participant.

Connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect and fill in the required fields such as recipient email address, subject line, and email content. You can map the participant’s email address from the Notion data captured earlier to ensure the certificate reaches the right person.

Use a subject line like ‘Your Certificate is Ready, [Participant Name]!’ Include a message with a link to download the certificate from Google Slides.

After filling in all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. This will ensure that the entire workflow from Notion to Google Slides to Gmail is functioning properly.
