Keep Your Team Aligned: Auto-Announce Google Slides Updates to Slack

Stop juggling tabs between Slides and Slack. When a new slide lands in your presentation, Notis posts it directly to your team channel so nothing gets missed.

Trigger

Action

Post message to channel

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

Slides pile up and teammates miss critical updates because you're switching between tools just to announce changes.

  • Eliminates context switching between apps
  • Ensures updates are seen by the full team
  • No more chasing people to review slides

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your Google Slides and Slack accounts to Notis (one-time setup).
  • 2Open the Notis portal and create a new automation called 'Announce new slides'.
  • 3Enter the plain-language prompt: 'When a new slide is added to my presentation, post a message to #team-updates announcing it.'
  • 4Choose 'New Slide Added' as the trigger and select your team channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by adding a slide to your presentation—you should see a message in Slack within seconds.

Questions about this workflow

Will this spam the channel if I add slides quickly?

Notis posts once per new slide. If you batch-add slides, you'll see multiple messages, but only one per slide—not duplicates.

Can I customize the announcement message?

Yes. In your automation prompt, describe what information matters—title, creator, summary, link—and Notis will include it.

Can I exclude certain presentations?

Mention specific presentation names in your prompt, and Notis will only trigger for those decks.
