An action in Airtable triggers Pipedream to create a Google Slides file from a template. But what is this template supposed to look like?
Hi @team_1,
To create a Google Slides file from a template when an Airtable action triggers your Pipedream workflow, you’ll first need to create a Google Slides template in your Google Drive. The template can be any Google Slides file that you’ve designed according to your needs, with placeholders for the data you want to insert from the Airtable record.
Once you have your template ready, you can use the Google Slides API within your Pipedream workflow to create a new Slides file based on the template and update it with the data from the Airtable record.
To get started with the Google Slides API in Pipedream, you can refer to the Google API documentation: Google Slides | Google for Developers
Remember to use the @pipedream/platform package’s axios constructor for making API requests, and authenticate using the OAuth access token from your connected Google account (this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token).

How do you create the placeholders? What is the format for the placeholders?
