How this automation works

Automatically add new photos from a Google Drive folder to a Google Slides presentation. When a new photo appears in the Drive folder you specify, this Applet creates a new slide and places the photo on it in the presentation you select. Perfect for building instant slideshows, keeping visual reports up to date, or sharing recent images with a team using Google Drive and Google Slides.
