Google Slides ACTION

Replace All Text

Replace every occurrence of a piece of text across a presentation, or only on the given slides. Useful for filling {{placeholder}} tokens in a template deck. The summary and replies[0].replaceAllText.occurrencesChanged report how many occurrences were replaced; when nothing matched, Google omits occurrencesChanged (the reply is replaceAllText: {}) and the presentation was not changed.
