Google Slides + Google Calendar

Google Calendar · Google Slides

Create an agenda deck for new Google Calendar events

Connect Google Calendar and Google Slides. Choose a dedicated calendar to watch and activate the workflow. Create a new named event after the first poll. FastHook creates a private presentation named for the event and inserts a title slide. It reads the event title only. Open the created deck from the run output. Later event edits and cancellations do not change the deck.

Google Slides + Google Drive

Notify Slack when a new Google Slides presentation appears

Connect Google Drive, Google Slides and Slack. Select a dedicated Drive folder and a private Slack channel. Use Google accounts that can both access the folder and its presentations. After the initial poll, create a new Google Slides presentation in that folder. FastHook reads its title from Slides and posts the title and link. Channel members see the title, and Google still controls access to the presentation.

01

Connect Google Slides

Google authorization is currently available to approved test users. Choose a Google Slides action in FastHook, connect your Google account and select a presentation or map its ID from an earlier step. Google asks for access to Slides, the Drive files used by FastHook and read access to Sheets for linked charts.

02

Map your Workflow data

Connect your accounts and map the required fields from earlier steps. Test with data you control before activation.

03

Before you activate

Reading or editing an existing presentation depends on the connected Google account’s permissions. The Drive selector shows files available to this connection. You can also map or enter a presentation ID. Google Slides provides actions. Use Google Drive’s New Presentation trigger to react to new presentations, or start from another app. Images are inserted from URLs that Google can fetch. Exporting or copying a presentation uses the Google Drive API. Thumbnail links expire, usually after about 30 minutes. Anyone holding a live link may be able to access the image.
