00Overview
Google Slides presentation operations
Every field below is exactly what you see in the Flomation editor. Fields marked ● live picker let you choose from a list pulled live from your account — no IDs to look up.
01Connecting Slides
Slides signs in with a Google account you connect to Flomation — there is no API key or secret to paste. Connect the account once and every Slides node picks it up automatically. Two optional fields let you steer it:
| Field | Type | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Account (email) | string | ||
| Google OAuth Credential | credential | ${credentials.GOOGLE_DRIVE} |
${credentials.GOOGLE_DRIVE}), not an environment secret. Leave both fields blank and the node just uses your connected account.02Add

05Notes & Limitations
Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.
- Images added by URL must be publicly reachable at insert time, as Google fetches and copies the file once — later changes to the source URL won't update the slide, and the image must be a PNG, JPEG, or GIF no larger than 50 MB.
- Adding text targets an existing shape or placeholder that accepts text, so a blank slide needs a text box or a layout placeholder in place before text will land.
- Newly created presentations are placed in the root of the connected account's Google Drive ("My Drive") unless a later step moves them.
- Slide and element identifiers returned when you add or read a slide are what later steps reference, so capture them from the node's output rather than assuming a fixed order or position.
