■Overview
Manually converting PowerPoint presentations stored in Google Drive to Google Slides each time you need to share them with your team is time-consuming. With this workflow, simply saving a specific file to Google Drive automatically converts it into a Google Slides presentation and sends a notification to Slack, streamlining these repetitive tasks.
■Recommended for
- Anyone who finds it time-consuming to manage and share presentations received from external sources
- Anyone who primarily uses Google Slides and wants to reduce manual file conversion tasks
- Anyone who wants to prevent delays or oversights in file sharing and notifications and improve team collaboration
■Benefits of using this template
- Automate the entire process—from saving a file to Google Drive to converting it to Google Slides and sending a Slack notification—so you can reduce time spent on manual work.
- Help prevent human errors such as forgetting to convert files, misconfiguring sharing link permissions, or failing to notify relevant team members.
■Flowbot workflow
- First, connect Google Drive and Slack to Yoom.
- Next, select Google Drive as the trigger and set the action to “When a file containing specific keywords is created.”
- Then, configure the Google Drive operation “Convert a presentation file to Google Slides.”
- Next, configure another Google Drive operation, “Change file permissions to ‘Anyone with the link,’” to automate the sharing settings.
- Finally, configure the Slack operation “Send a message to a channel” to notify the specified channel of the converted file details.
※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization options
■Customization options
- In the Google Drive trigger settings, specify any keywords included in the file names you want to convert automatically.
- In the operation that sends a message to Slack, customize the notification channel and message content to suit your workflow.
■Notes
- Connect both Google Drive and Slack to Yoom.
- You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- Note that the shortest available trigger interval varies by plan.
- For details on the file size limits applicable to triggers and each operation, see File size limits.
