The Add Slide node inserts new blank slides into existing Google Slides presentations. You can control exactly where the new slide is placed within the presentation. This is an AI-powered node that can understand natural language instructions.

​
When to Use It

  • Expand presentations with additional blank slides
  • Insert slides at specific positions in existing presentations
  • Build dynamic presentations that grow based on data
  • Prepare slide structures before adding content
  • Create presentation templates with multiple slides
  • Add slides programmatically based on workflow logic

​
Inputs

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
PresentationTextYesGoogle Slides presentation URL or ID
Insertion PositionSelectYesWhere to place the new slide in the presentation
Custom PositionNumberConditionalSpecific position for the slide (required when using Custom Position)

​
Insertion Position Options

PositionDescriptionWhen to Use
At EndAdd slide at the end of presentation (default)Most common - building presentations sequentially
At BeginningAdd slide at the start of presentationCreating title slides or intro content
Custom PositionAdd slide at a specific position (1-based)Inserting slides in the middle of existing content

​
Custom Position Rules

  • 1-based indexing: Position 1 = first slide, position 2 = second slide, etc.
  • Required for Custom Position: Must specify a number when using custom position
  • Automatic adjustment: If position exceeds total slides, slide is added at the end
  • Clear when not used: Leave empty when using “At End” or “At Beginning”
Examples:
  • Position 1: Insert at the very beginning
  • Position 3: Insert as the third slide (pushes existing slide 3+ down)
  • Position 999: Will be placed at the end if presentation has fewer slides

Common Workflows

Sequential Presentation Building: 
[Create Presentation] → [Add Slide: At End] → [Add Content] → [Add Slide: At End] → [Add More Content]
Template Creation: 
[Create Presentation] → [Add Slide: Title] → [Add Slide: Overview] → [Add Slide: Content] → [Add Slide: Conclusion]
Dynamic Content Insertion: 
[Get Data Count] → [Loop: Add Slide for Each Data Item] → [Populate Each Slide with Data]
Structured Presentation: 
[Add Slide: Position 1 - Title] → [Add Slide: Position 2 - Agenda] → [Add Content Slides at End]

​
Tips

Best Practices:
  • Use “At End” for most cases - simplest and most predictable
  • Start with structure - add all slides first, then populate with content
  • Plan your positions - sketch out slide order before building workflow
  • Use custom positions sparingly - mainly for inserting into existing presentations
Position Strategy:
  • Title slides: Position 1 or “At Beginning”
  • Content slides: “At End” for sequential building
  • Summary slides: “At End” or specific position if restructuring
  • Agenda slides: Position 2 (after title) using custom position
Workflow Integration:
  • Add Slide → Insert Text Box → Add Image → Update Text Style
  • Get Slide Count → Add Slide at Specific Position → Populate Content
  • Loop through Data → Add Slide for Each Item → Add Item-Specific Content
