Generating Google Slides from Images using Apps Script
Blog post from Google Cloud
In September 2017, Google announced new features for Google Slides, including support for Google Apps Script, which allows developers to programmatically create and modify Slides presentations. This enhancement enables the customization of menus, dialog boxes, and sidebars within the user interface. A demonstration in a G Suite Dev Show episode highlights the ability to automatically generate a slideshow from online images using Apps Script, showcasing a simple script that appends slides and inserts images via JavaScript. Although the basic solution effectively creates presentations, further code enhancements can improve functionality. Developers interested in exploring these features can refer to documentation and tutorials for Apps Script and the Slides REST API, offering opportunities to build advanced applications with Google Slides.
