I’ve been stuck for several days, trying to create an automated, multi-page Google Slides presentation with Make, where the variables - including the images - come from different columns in Google Sheets.
My problem is that I can’t manage to create multiple slides with their images from the data stored in Google Sheets. All the variables are extracted correctly, except for the URL of the image, which is transferred, but it is always the same image.
Fields in the GSheets sheet:
- News date
- Headline
- Lead
- News body
- URL to news image
I have configured a scenario where:
- I create a presentation from a template in which I have included these parameters in square brackets.
-
I take the presentation generated using its ID.
-
I look for the GSheets data.
-
I create a slide from a template slide, and there I keep the Presentation ID and indicate which slide ID to use. I incorporate all the parameters of the page and link them with the GSheets columns.
-
I upload the image to the presentation using the method “Upload an image by replacing text tag”, and even the image tag {{fotillo}} -without the brackets-, and the GSheet field that contains the URLs of each article.
What’s the problem?
Yes, it generates an automated presentation for me, with several slides (one for each news item). The texts transfer to each slide perfectly as you can see in the image, but the image, only the first one transfers and is repeated on all the slides.
How is it possible that the texts work well and the image does not transfer the corresponding one? What have I missed?
