Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
It starts when Google Slides reports that a new slide was added to a presentation.
Can the message include details about the new slide?
Ask Notis to include details available in the trigger event. If the event does not provide slide content or a presentation name, supply the needed details in your instruction or keep the message generic.
Will WhatsApp deliver the message to any number?
The Send message action delivers only if the recipient has texted your WhatsApp number first.
