Google Slides

In one line: Connect Google Slides so your UnleashX agent can build presentations, add and edit slides, and update text from natural language.

​
1. Overview

Google Slides is Google’s presentation service for creating and editing slide decks stored in Drive. Once connected, your UnleashX agent can create presentations, read presentations and individual pages, list layouts and templates, add and delete slides, insert text and text boxes, create populated title-and-body slides, replace text across a deck, and fetch slide thumbnails. Connecting Google Slides to UnleashX makes deck-building conversational: ask “create a 3-slide summary of this report” or “add a closing slide with these bullet points,” and the agent assembles the slides for you.

​
2. What you’ll need

1

A Google account with Slides

Any personal Google account or a Google Workspace account with Slides enabled.
2

Permission to grant access

You must be able to complete the Google sign-in and approve the requested permissions.
3

An UnleashX agent

An agent in your UnleashX workspace where you’ll add the Slides connector.
No admin access? On a managed Google Workspace account, your admin may need to allow UnleashX before authorization succeeds.

​
3. Get your credentials

Google Slides uses Google OAuth 2.0. You do not create or paste an API key. UnleashX redirects you to Google, you sign in once, and Google issues an access token to UnleashX automatically.
1

Start the connection in UnleashX

In your agent’s Data Connectors, find Google Slides and click Connect (see Section 4).
2

Sign in with Google

Choose the Google account whose presentations you want to connect.
3

Review and approve the requested scopes

Click Allow to grant access and return to UnleashX.
There is no key to copy. Access is granted by your Google sign-in and can be revoked anytime at your Google Account permissions page.

7. Permissions & data access

UnleashX can:
  • Create presentations and read their structure and thumbnails.
  • Add and delete slides.
  • Insert text and text boxes, create populated slides, and replace text.
  • List layouts and templates.
UnleashX cannot:
  • Access Gmail, Calendar, or other Google services unless connected separately.
  • Change your Google account settings or password.
  • Edit presentations you don’t have access to.
To disconnect: In UnleashX, open Data Connectors → Google Slides → Disconnect, or revoke at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking takes effect immediately. The connection authenticates each request with your Google OAuth access token (resolved from an access-token header, a google_slides_access_token header, or an Authorization: Bearer header, falling back to your UnleashX session), refreshed automatically when it expires.

​
8. Troubleshooting

For general connector issues, see /mcp/integrations.

​
9. Frequently asked questions

Does UnleashX store my presentations? No. It reads and writes through Google’s API in real time to fulfill your requests. Can multiple team members connect Slides? Yes. Each person authorizes their own Google account. Can it apply custom themes? The tools work with layouts and templates exposed by Slides; full custom theming beyond those isn’t exposed here.
