Google Slides

Configuration

Google Slides source connector integrates with Google Drive API.

Connects to your Google Drive account to retrieve Google Slides presentations. Presentations are exported as PDF and processed through Airweave’s file processing pipeline to enable full-text semantic search across presentation content.

Mirrors the Google Drive connector approach - treats Google Slides presentations as regular files that get processed through the standard file processing pipeline.

The connector handles:

  • Presentation listing and filtering via Google Drive API
  • Content export and download (PDF format)
  • Metadata preservation (ownership, sharing, timestamps)
  • Incremental sync via Drive Changes API

Authentication

This connector uses OAuth 2.0 with custom credentials. You need to provide your OAuth application’s Client ID and Client Secret, then complete the OAuth consent flow.

OAuth Setup Required
  1. Create an OAuth application in your provider’s developer console
  2. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret when configuring the connection
  3. Complete the OAuth consent flow
