Google Slides integration: presentation templates filled in with the visitor's answers
Agenola's Google Slides integration lets your agents create presentations, add slides and fill a presentation template with the visitor's answers. A personalized quote or project presentation is ready as soon as the conversation ends. You connect it in one click with your Google account.
How it works
Slides steps create a presentation, read a presentation and its slides, add a slide with a title and text, delete a slide, and replace every occurrence of a piece of text.
Templates are filled with "Find and replace": you write placeholders such as [[company]] and [[date]] on the slides, and the step replaces each with the visitor's answer. To keep the template itself intact, first create a copy with Drive's "Copy" step and fill in the copy.
Google Slides, Drive, Docs and Sheets share one connection: connect one and all four are connected.
- "Add slide" adds the slide at the end of the presentation unless you give a position.
- The "Delete slide" step doesn't run until the confirmation box on the step is ticked.
- When you remove the connection, Slides steps stop; your presentations stay in Drive as they are.

Example conversations
Visitor: We're considering solar panels for our factory. The roof is about 13,000 sq ft.
Agent: Let's prepare a preliminary quote presentation for you. Could I have your company name and email address?
Visitor: Harbor Textiles, sam@example.com
Agent: Your preliminary quote presentation is ready; our specialist will review it and send it to you.
Behind the scenes: Drive's "Copy" step creates a copy of the presentation template; Slides' "Find and replace" step replaces the [[company]] and [[roof_area]] placeholders with the visitor's answers.
Visitor: I'd like to sign up as a speaker for tomorrow's open day: Mark Rivera, on AI.
Agent: You're signed up; your name has been added to the event presentation.
Behind the scenes: The "Add slide" step adds a slide titled "Mark Rivera – AI" at the end of the event presentation.

Permissions and where your data goes
- Sent to Google Slides: the text and slide titles you write on the steps or that are filled in from the visitor's answers.
- Read from Google Slides: only when a step asks, the presentation's name, slide count, address and the text of its slides; the list of presentations in your Drive for the presentation picker.
- Permission requested: Google Drive full access, with which Slides are edited; your email address and Google ID to recognize the account.
- Connection details are stored encrypted on the server. Only the workspace owner and admins can connect or remove it; when you remove it, your presentations stay in Drive as they are.

Frequently asked questions
Does my presentation template change when it's filled in?
"Find and replace" writes to the presentation you choose. To keep the template intact, first create a copy with Drive's "Copy" step in the flow and fill in the copy.
Can images be added to slides?
Slide steps work with text: they add slides with a title and text, and replace text. Keep images ready in the template and let the agent fill in the text.
Do I need to connect Slides separately from Drive?
No. Slides, Drive, Docs and Sheets share one connection; connect one and all four are connected.
