​
How It Works

This node finds tables in your presentation using alt text and populates them with structured data from previous workflow nodes like Google Ads or Google Analytics. The table structure adjusts automatically to fit your data.

​
Requirements

  • Table must already exist in your Google Slides presentation
  • Table must have alt text set for identification
  • Data comes from previous nodes (Google Ads, Analytics, etc.)

​
Finding Tables

Uses Alt Text only - Right-click on any table in Google Slides → Select “Alt text” → Set a descriptive name like “sales_performance_table”. Why Alt Text? Tables are typically template elements that you’ll update repeatedly with fresh data. Alt text ensures you can target the same table consistently across workflow runs.

​
Data Requirements

The node accepts structured data (JSON and CSV formats) from previous workflow nodes like Google Ads, Google Analytics, Meta Ads, etc. These nodes automatically provide data in the correct format - no technical setup required.

​
Table Population Behavior

  • Headers are automatically created from your data (Campaign Name, Clicks, etc.)
  • Rows are populated with your data values
  • Table size adjusts automatically to fit your data (max 20 rows × 20 columns)
  • Existing content in the table is completely replaced with new data
  • Table styling (colors, fonts, borders) is preserved

​
Analytics Table on Specific Slide

​
Table Setup Best Practices

​
Google Slides Table Preparation

Create your template table:
  1. Insert table in Google Slides (start with approximate size needed)
  2. Style your table (colors, fonts, borders, cell formatting)
  3. Set alt text - Right-click table → Alt text → Enter descriptive name
  4. Add placeholder content (optional) like “Campaign Data”
Important: Your table styling will be preserved when data updates.

​
Alt Text Strategy

  • Use descriptive names like “q1_ads_performance”

  • Avoid special characters - stick to letters, numbers, underscores

​
Data Requirements

  • Maximum size: 20 rows × 20 columns
  • Data comes from previous nodes (Google Ads, Analytics, etc.)
  • Headers are automatic - don’t include them in your table template
