1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automated File Conversion

To convert Google Slides into PNG or JPEG automatically, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central hub for integrating various applications, including Google Slides and Google Drive. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account.

Once logged in, you can create a new workflow. This workflow will allow you to automate the conversion process seamlessly. The integration begins by selecting Google Forms as the trigger application, which will initiate the automation whenever a form is submitted.

2. Setting Up Google Forms with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll configure Google Forms to send data to Pabbly Connect. Select Google Forms as the trigger application and connect it using the webhook URL provided by Pabbly. This connection allows you to receive form responses directly into your workflow.

• Choose Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Connect using the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Map the necessary fields from the form response.

After mapping the fields, you can proceed to create a new presentation in Google Slides using the details received from the form. This step is crucial for generating the slides that will later be converted into PNG or JPEG formats.

3. Creating Google Slides from Form Responses

Next, you will create new slides in Google Slides based on the data collected from Google Forms. This process is facilitated by Pabbly Connect, which allows you to select a specific template and fill it with the required details from the form submission.

Once the slide is created, it will be stored in your Google Drive. Ensure that you have set the correct permissions for sharing the file, allowing anyone with the link to access it. This is essential for the next steps in the automation process.

• Select a template in Google Slides.
• Map the details from Google Forms into the slide.
• Store the created slide in Google Drive with appropriate sharing permissions.

After storing the slide, you will receive the file link, which will be used for conversion in the next step.

4. Using Cloud Convert for File Conversion

To convert the newly created slide into PNG or JPEG format, you will use Cloud Convert integrated with Pabbly Connect. Add an action step in your workflow, selecting Cloud Convert as the action application. Choose ‘Convert a file’ as the action event.

Connect your Cloud Convert account to Pabbly Connect. Once connected, input the PDF link obtained from Google Drive as the file URL for conversion. Specify the input format as PDF and the output format as PNG or JPEG, depending on your requirement.

Select Cloud Convert as the action application. Map the PDF link from Google Drive as the file URL. Choose the desired output format (PNG or JPEG).

After configuring these settings, initiate the conversion process. You will receive a job ID that will be used to track the conversion status in the next step.

5. Finalizing the Process and Uploading to Google Drive

Once the file conversion is initiated, it is essential to add a delay of 5 to 7 minutes to allow Cloud Convert to complete the process. This delay can be easily set up in Pabbly Connect by adding another action step for a delay.

After the delay, use the job ID received from the Cloud Convert response to get the job details. This will provide you with the URL of the converted PNG or JPEG file. Finally, you can upload this image back to Google Drive using another action step in Pabbly Connect.

Add a delay for 5-7 minutes to allow conversion completion. Use the job ID to fetch the converted file URL. Upload the converted file back to Google Drive.

This completes the automation process, allowing you to convert Google Slides into PNG or JPEG formats effortlessly using Pabbly Connect.
