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.

Send Slack notifications for new Google Drive files

Notify your Slack channel when a new file is created in a Google Drive folder. Each message includes the file name, type and a direct Drive URL. Connect Google Drive and Slack, browse to the folder to watch, and choose a channel where the FastHook bot can post. Leaving the folder empty watches the connected Drive. The folder scope includes direct children only; subfolders are not scanned. Detection uses file creation time, so moving an older file into the folder is not guaranteed to trigger a notification. Polling may include files created roughly one minute before setup; older files and later edits are not imported. Includes its own fictional English project document example with German characters. Messages preserve literal text and disable link previews. File names and URLs become visible to channel members, but Drive sharing permissions stay unchanged.
