How this automation works

Create a Google Slides presentation from an Email. When you send IFTTT an email with the specified hashtag in the subject, this Applet creates a new Google Slides presentation and can copy an existing presentation as a template. This is useful for quickly turning Email messages into pitch decks, meeting notes, or visual summaries in Google Slides without switching apps.

Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
