2. Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

To begin, open your browser and navigate to Pabbly Connect. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. This allows you to create a free account, giving you access to 100 tasks each month. If you already have an account, simply log in to access your dashboard. using Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For example, you can name it ‘Create Google Slides from Notion Updates’. Next, select the folder where you want to save your workflow, such as the ‘Google Slides’ folder in your Pabbly Connect account.

• Open your browser and go to Pabbly Connect.
• Sign up for a free account or log in.
• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it appropriately.
• Select the folder for saving the workflow.

After setting up your workflow, you will see two boxes: Trigger and Action. The trigger will initiate the workflow, and the action will be the task performed as a result. In this case, we will set Notion as the trigger application.

3. Configuring the Notion Trigger in Pabbly Connect

With your workflow open, search for Notion in the trigger application section. Select Notion and choose the trigger event as ‘New Database Item’. This event will trigger the workflow whenever a new item is added to your Notion database.

Next, you will need to connect your Notion account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’, then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to allow access to your Notion account. Once connected, select the specific database you want to monitor for updates.

• Select Notion as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Notion account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the database you want to monitor.

After successfully connecting, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the trigger is set up correctly. You should receive a response confirming the connection and displaying the details of the new database item.

4. Setting Up Google Slides Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that your Notion trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action in Google Slides. In the action application section, search for Google Slides and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Presentation from Template’. This will create a new presentation based on the template you have set up in Google Slides.

Connect your Google Slides account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and allowing access to your Google account. After connecting, you will need to select the template presentation you want to use. Make sure your template contains the necessary variables that will be replaced with data from your Notion database.

Select Google Slides as your action application. Choose ‘Create Presentation from Template’ as the action event. Connect your Google Slides account to Pabbly Connect. Select the template presentation to use.

Once the template is selected, you will need to map the data from your Notion database to the appropriate fields in your Google Slides template. This ensures that the correct information is populated in your new presentation.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Automation

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a test presentation. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a positive response indicating that a new presentation has been created in Google Slides.

To verify, navigate to your Google Drive and locate the folder where your presentations are saved. Open the newly created presentation to check that all the details from your Notion database have been accurately included.

With this automation set up using Pabbly Connect, you can now create Google Slides presentations automatically from your Notion database items. This process not only saves time but also ensures that your presentations are always up-to-date with the latest information.
