This document outlines the functionality and characteristics of the Google Slides Reader node, which enables automated data extraction from Google Slides presentations.
The Google Slides Reader node produces the following outputs, all in list format (one item per slide):
Important: All outputs are in list format, even if you only extract a single slide.
The Google Slides Reader node provides automated access to Google Slides presentation content with flexible filtering capabilities.
Key features include:
The Google Slides Reader node is particularly valuable in scenarios requiring automated extraction and processing of presentation content. Common use cases include:
Some specific examples:
Setup:
Purpose: Repurpose presentations as blog content without manual reformatting
Setup:
Why Error Shield is necessary: Not all slides contain images, which would cause the Analyze Image node to fail when processing empty image URLs. The Error Shield prevents these failures from stopping your entire flow, allowing successful analyses to continue while safely handling slides without images.
Purpose: Extract and analyze data from charts, diagrams, and other visuals in presentations
Setup:
Purpose: Convert slide-based training into concise reference materials
The Google Slides Reader node itself doesn’t directly support Loop Mode. However, you can still process multiple presentations using a subflow approach:
Steps to implement:
Create a simple subflow:
In your main flow:
This approach lets you process multiple presentations in sequence while maintaining proper data types in your flow.
Authentication Required: You must authenticate with Google - Set up in the Credentials page
Permissions Matter: You must have access to the presentations you’re trying to read
Image Processing:
This example demonstrates how to extract and analyze content from sales presentations:
Configuration:
Processing Flow:
Data Processing Steps:
Benefits of This Approach:
This workflow automatically extracts valuable information from sales presentations and organizes it for better team access and analysis.
In summary, the Google Slides Reader node provides powerful capabilities for extracting and utilizing content from Google Slides presentations, enabling you to repurpose and analyze presentation content in your automation workflows.
