Component Overview: Create Slide
The Create Slide component allows you to programmatically add new slides to an existing Google Slides presentation. This is particularly useful when you want to automate the creation of presentations, generate content dynamically, or integrate slide creation into a larger AI-driven workflow.
What Does This Component Do?
The component connects to a Google Slides presentation (via its Presentation ID) and creates a new slide with custom content, title, and optional speaker notes. You can also attach a featured image to the slide. This makes it ideal for workflows where presentations need to be generated or updated based on incoming data, user input, or AI-generated content.
Inputs
The component accepts the following inputs:
| Input Name | Type(s) | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Presentation ID | Message (string) | The ID of the Google Slides presentation to update. | No |
| Slide Title | Message (string) | Title to be given to the new slide. | No |
| Slide Content | Message (string) | Main content/body of the slide. | No |
| Speaker Notes | Message (string) | Any presenter notes for the slide. | No |
| Featured Image | Message, FlowSessionAttachmentResponse | An image to visually highlight the slide. | No |
| Tool Name | String | Reference name for the tool in agent workflows. | No |
| Tool Description | String (multiline, advanced) | Description for agents about how to use the tool. | No |
| Verbose | Boolean | Whether to show detailed output logs. | No |
Note: None of the fields are strictly required, but providing the Presentation ID is necessary for the component to know where to create the slide.
Outputs
Upon execution, the component produces the following outputs:
After Create Slide (Data):
Returns data about the slide creation process, which can be used in subsequent workflow steps (e.g., to confirm success or trigger follow-ups).Tool (Tool):
Exposes tool capabilities for agent-based workflows, enabling other processes or agents to interact with this slide-creation function.
Why Is This Useful?
- Automate Presentation Creation:
Save time by generating slides automatically based on data, AI outputs, or user prompts. - Integrate with AI Agents:
Use in multi-step workflows where agents might need to prepare, update, or customize presentations as part of their process. - Customizable Slides:
Each new slide can include a title, content, featured image, and speaker notes, making it flexible for a range of use cases (reports, summaries, proposals, etc.).
Example Use Cases
- Automatically generate weekly report slides from analytics data.
- Create personalized slides for sales pitches using customer-specific information.
- Build educational decks by converting structured content into slides.
