Google Slides

Generate and refine presentation decks.

What it does

Creates and edits presentations. Narrow, but useful when a recurring deck is mostly the same numbers in the same places every month.

What you need

An account with Google Slides that you are entitled to authorise, and a moment in a browser. You do not need an API key: connecting sends you to Google Slides's own sign-in and consent screen, and what comes back is an authorisation rather than a password. RAiN never sees your password, and the authorisation is held by our integration provider on our instructions — see the Integrations & Connected Accounts notice for what that means.

Connecting it

Connections belong to one project. A system built for one client never acts on another client's account, and a package handed to a business runs on theirs — so the same integration is connected again, separately, for each project that needs it.

  1. Open the project and stay on the Visual Editor tab.
  2. Open the Tools & Integrations rail on the right.
  3. Find Google Slides and press Connect.
  4. Authorise in the window that opens, then come back. The rail will show it as connected.

The consent link is good for about twenty minutes. If you leave it and come back tomorrow, press Connect again rather than reusing the old tab.

To stop it, press Disconnect. That ends this project's access immediately. You can also revoke it from Google Slides's own security settings, which works even if you never open RAiN again.

What an agent can do with it

6 actions are available once connected. They appear in the tool list for this project only — a project that has not connected Google Slides is never offered them.

Action What it does
google_slides_presentations_copy_from_template Copy Google Slides from Template
google_slides_create_presentation Create Google Slides Presentation
google_slides_create_slides_markdown Create Slides from Markdown
google_slides_presentations_get Get Presentation
google_slides_presentations_pages_get Get Presentation Page
google_slides_presentations_batch_update Update Presentation (Batch/Markdown)

Tick the ones an agent may use, or choose one in an Action step to run it exactly as written with no model involved.

A worked example

An agency's monthly performance deck is generated from the client's figures, and the strategist spends their time on the commentary instead of the charts.

When it goes wrong

Only six actions exist. This is the thinnest of the Google integrations — check the list below covers what you need before you promise it.
