Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + Google Slides integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Drive and Google Slides

How can I automatically update a Google Slides presentation when a new file is added to Google Drive?

You can set up a trigger in our platform to automatically update your Google Slides presentation. When a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, our system will prompt an action to incorporate the new file or its contents into a designated Google Slides presentation.

Is it possible to convert each new document in Google Drive into separate slides in an existing Google Slides presentation?

Yes, this is achievable by using triggers and actions. When a new document is created or uploaded in your specified folder on Google Drive, we can help automate the process of adding this as a new slide in an existing Google Slides presentation.

Can I create a backup of my Google Slides presentations every time they are modified? If so, how?

Absolutely. You can set up an automated workflow where any modification made to your Google Slides triggers an action to copy or move the updated version to a specified folder within your Google Drive, ensuring you always have the latest version safely backed up.

How do I ensure my team gets notifications when there are changes made in specific folders of our shared Drive?

You can configure notifications through triggers. Whenever changes are detected in specified folders within your shared Drive, such as additions or modifications, we automatically send out notifications to designated team members via email or other preferred communication tools.

What steps are needed for syncing images stored in my Drive with my slides for company presentations?

To sync images from your Drive into slides used for company presentations, set up a trigger on our platform for when new images are uploaded. The trigger will initiate an action that transfers these images into your desired slides on Google Slides seamlessly.

Does integrating Drive with Slides support real-time collaboration among team members during presentations?

While integration primarily focuses on automating updates and transferring content between platforms, real-time collaboration is inherently supported by both Google's native tools. Our integrations ensure that updates made via triggers and actions align well with ongoing collaborative efforts.

Can data from spreadsheets stored on Google Drive be visualized directly onto slides automatically? How does this process work?

Yes, data from spreadsheets can be visualized directly onto slides. By setting up specific triggers that recognize changes within spreadsheets stored on Drive, actions such as updating corresponding charts or tables on the desired slides in your presentation can be automated efficiently.
