Google Slides connector

OAuth 2.0 filesdocuments

Connect to Google Slides to create, read, and modify presentations programmatically.

Google Slides connector

  1. Terminal window
    npm install @scalekit-sdk/node

    Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python

  2. Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

    .env
    SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
  3. Register your Google Slides credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.

    Dashboard setup steps

    Register your Scalekit environment with the Google Slides connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

    1. Set up auth redirects

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Google Slides and click Create. Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

        Copy redirect URI from Scalekit dashboard

      • Navigate to Google Cloud ConsoleAPIs & ServicesCredentials. Select + Create Credentials, then OAuth client ID. Choose Web application from the Application type menu.

        Select Web Application in Google OAuth settings

      • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + Add URI, paste the redirect URI, and click Create.

        Add authorized redirect URI in Google Cloud Console

    2. Enable the Google Slides API

      • In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & ServicesLibrary. Search for “Google Slides API” and click Enable.
    3. Get client credentials

      • Google provides your Client ID and Client Secret after you create the OAuth client ID in step 1.
    4. Add credentials in Scalekit

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.

      • Enter your credentials:

        Add credentials in Scalekit dashboard

      • Click Save.

  4. quickstart.ts
    import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
    import 'dotenv/config'
    const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
    process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
    process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
    process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
    )
    const actions = scalekit.actions
    const connector = 'googleslides'
    const identifier = 'user_123'
    // Generate an authorization link for the user
    const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
    console.log('Authorize Google Slides:', link)
    process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...')
    await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r))
    // Make your first call
    const result = await actions.executeTool({
    connector,
    identifier,
    toolName: 'googleslides_read_presentation',
    toolInput: { presentation_id: 'YOUR_PRESENTATION_ID' },
    })
    console.log(result)

Connect this agent connector to let your agent:

  • Read presentation — Read the complete structure and content of a Google Slides presentation including slides, text, images, shapes, and metadata
  • Create presentation — Create a new Google Slides presentation with an optional title
Proxy API call
const result = await actions.request({
connectionName: 'googleslides',
identifier: 'user_123',
path: '/v1/presentations',
method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);
Execute a tool
const result = await actions.executeTool({
connector: 'googleslides',
identifier: 'user_123',
toolName: 'googleslides_create_presentation',
toolInput: {},
});
console.log(result);

Use the exact tool names from the Tool list below when you call execute_tool. If you’re not sure which name to use, list the tools available for the current user first.
