Frequently Asked Questions about Google Docs + 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 Docs and Google Slides

How do I set up a Google Docs to Google Slides integration?

To set up a Google Docs to Google Slides integration, you can use our platform to connect both apps and automate workflows. Typically, you would choose a trigger like 'New Document in Folder' in Google Docs, which will initiate an action such as 'Create Presentation' in Google Slides.

What triggers are available for integrating Google Docs with Google Slides?

For integrating Google Docs with Google Slides, common triggers include 'New Document,' 'Updated Document,' or 'New Document in Folder.' These triggers allow us to automatically start actions in Google Slides like adding new slides or creating a whole presentation.

Can I automate the creation of a presentation from a document?

Yes, you can automate the creation of a presentation from a document. By setting up an automation where the trigger is 'New Document' in Google Docs, we can automatically use that document content to create new slides within Google Slides.

Is it possible to update slides when my document changes?

Absolutely! By using the 'Updated Document' trigger in Google Docs, any changes made will automatically reflect via actions such as updating slides or editing text boxes within an existing presentation on Google Slides.

What kind of actions can be automated on Google Slides when triggered by changes in a document?

When there are triggers from changes in your documents, actions that can be automated on Google Slides include creating new presentations, adding or updating slides, changing text content, and even applying specific themes.

Do I need any coding skills to integrate these applications?

No coding skills are required! Our platform provides an easy-to-use interface where you can set up integrations between Google Docs and Google Slides using simple drag-and-drop tools to map triggers and actions.

How do changes in formatting between documents and slides get handled?

While integrating, formatting might slightly differ due to varied capabilities of Documents and Slides. We often recommend reviewing the final output since elements like fonts and colors may need manual adjustments after automation has taken place.
