For the first time, Google Slides has an API, and we’re going to show you how to use it! In this video, you'll see how to programmatically generate a slide deck. In particular, we’ll start with a title slide template & company icon in a Google Drive folder. The template contains placeholders for a presentation name and an image, like a corporate logo. We’ll then walk through a simple script copying the template & replacing the placeholders w/the presentation name & product icon. This will be enough knowledge transfer so that you can start generating your OWN presentations using the Google Slides API!
