How this automation works

Notify your team in Slack when you create a new Google Slides presentation. It runs when a new presentation is created in Google Slides and posts a message to a selected Slack channel with the presentation link and thumbnail. This keeps collaborators informed and speeds up reviews for teams that use Google Slides and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
