How this automation works

Replace placeholders in a Google Slides presentation with values from a Webhooks JSON payload. This runs whenever the Maker Webhooks service receives a web request with a JSON payload and replaces every occurrence of the selected placeholder in the chosen presentation. Useful for auto-filling reports, invoices, or slide templates from form submissions, CRMs, or IoT systems without manual editing.
