Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Inputs​

  • Presentation Id - The ID of the Google Slides presentation to retrieve information about.

Options​

  • Return Element IDs - If enabled, returns only the element IDs from a specific page rather than the full presentation details.
  • Page Object Id - The ID of the specific page to retrieve element IDs from (required when "Return Element IDs" is enabled).

Output​

  • Response - The presentation data in JSON format. If "Return Element IDs" is enabled, this will contain only the page elements from the specified page.

How It Works​

The Get Presentation node retrieves detailed information about a Google Slides presentation. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided Presentation Id input
  2. Connects to the Google Slides API
  3. Retrieves either:
    • Full presentation details including slides, layouts, and metadata
    • Only the element IDs from a specific page (when Return Element IDs is enabled)
  4. Returns the retrieved data as a JSON response

Requirements​

  • A valid Google Slides presentation ID
  • Valid Google Slides API credentials
  • Proper permissions to access the presentation

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid Presentation Id
  • Empty or invalid Page Object Id (when Return Element IDs is enabled)
  • Google Slides API authentication errors
  • Insufficient permissions to access the presentation
  • Invalid presentation ID
  • Google Slides service errors

Usage Notes​

  • The Presentation Id can be found in the URL of the Google Slides presentation
  • When "Return Element IDs" is disabled, the node returns complete presentation information
  • When "Return Element IDs" is enabled, you must specify a Page Object Id to retrieve elements from
  • The output Response contains the presentation data in JSON format which can be used in subsequent nodes
  • This node is useful for inspecting presentation structure or retrieving specific page elements
  • The retrieved data can be parsed and used in other nodes for further processing
