Add the Google Slides "Presentation added to folder" trigger

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

Click "Add trigger" and select "Presentation added to folder" under Google Slides. Then, select the parent folder where presentations are added. This trigger will automatically detect all the Google Slides presentations added to the designated folder to schedule new events in Google.

If this is your first time using a Google Slides integration in Relay, you'll be prompted to connect your Google Slides account.
