Why this helps
External presentation tools can signal a change, but the live chat widget remains stale.

- Refreshes chat on demand
- Reduces manual widget resets

Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook require a Google Slides event?
No. The webhook starts the automation and must carry any context the action needs.
Can the payload be empty?
