Question 1

What can I do with the Google Slides integration?

Accepted Answer

Here's what you can do with a Google Slides integration:

• Create decks from your app's data – build an app that tracks sales, projects or clients, and Base44 can create a deck from that data.
• Refresh a recurring deck – your app can update an existing deck with the latest numbers, so the weekly report is current before the meeting starts.
• Make a deck for each client – every client gets their own deck from your template, filled in with their figures.
• Turn project milestones into a progress deck – a project-reporting app can compile your milestone updates into a formatted presentation, so stakeholders can page through the progress.

Any deck you rebuild from fresh numbers can work the same way. Tell Base44 where those numbers live and who sits through the presentation, and build the deck that's ready before the meeting is.

Question 2

How do I set up the Google Slides integration?

Accepted Answer

Here's how you get from a template and some data to a finished deck:

• Point to the template and the data – tell Base44 in chat which template to use, where the data comes from and when the deck should be made, for example "make a client update deck every Friday from this week's projects."
• Connect the account that holds your template – sign in with Google and approve access to Slides; Base44 handles the sign-in flow and stores the credentials.
• Get the deck flow – the flow that fills your template comes with a backend function you can review and edit.
• Page through a real deck – generate one from real data and go through it slide by slide, so you can see how long names and large numbers sit in the template.
• Approve more when a flow asks – if a later flow needs more permissions, you approve them at that point.

Your template does the design work and your data does the updating, which leaves you one job: checking the deck before it goes out. Start with the deck someone rebuilds every Friday afternoon and describe it to Base44.

Question 3

Can Base44 build decks from my own Google Slides template?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Base44 creates each deck from the template you choose, so it comes out with your layout and branding, and your data fills in the parts that change.

Set up the template in Google Slides the way you want it to look, and note which parts change from deck to deck, like the client name, the totals or the dates. Describe to Base44 which data goes where, and each new deck starts from your template with the current figures in place.

The finished deck is a regular Slides file, so your team can still edit a slide, add speaker notes or present it straight away.

Question 4

Can Base44 build a Google Slides deck from what my website collects?

Accepted Answer

Base44 can fill a deck from your website as well as your app, using the names and numbers your site collects.

Say you run a workshop: people register through your site, and afterward a deck pulls together who signed up and what they told you in the form. The same pattern covers a monthly summary of inquiries or the results of a survey.

If you need the site first, create a website with the form you need, then describe the deck it should feed.

Question 5

Where does Base44 save the decks – a team account or each person's own?

Accepted Answer

That's your call – Base44 can create decks in one shared Google account or in each person's own, so think about where people will look for them.

Team reports and pitch decks belong in one place everyone can open, which is what a shared connection gives you: the decks are created in a single Google account that the whole team uses.

Reps and account managers who build decks for their own clients often want them in their own account. With a per-user connection, each person connects their own Google account, so the app acts on their behalf and sees only their data. The decks are created in their account. That option needs a Builder plan or higher.
