Yes. A Hex trigger such as a new project run can feed the Presentations Batch Update action in Google Slides, which adds or edits content in an existing presentation using markdown or raw requests. ### ### Can anything be sent from Google Slides back into Hex? No. Hex offers triggers only, so Google Slides can receive actions like creating a presentation or fetching a page thumbnail, while Hex supplies the starting events such as a new project run or a listed project, user or group. ### ### What can start an automation from Hex? Any of Hex's 4 triggers in the catalog, including List Groups, List Projects, List Users and New Project Run. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Google Slides when something happens in Hex? Any of Google Slides's 8 actions, including Create Slides Markdown, Presentations Batch Update, Presentations Create and Presentations Get. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Google Slides to Hex? Google Slides has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Hex. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Google Slides's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Hex or Google Slides? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Hex and Google Slides without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in Google Slides once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
