Generate a Google Slides presentation and send its link do a webpage (webhook)

How To
1

Hi guys, I’m struggling for at least one week trying to solve this.

I have a scenario whose trigger is a Tally.so form (Watch New Response). In the automation workflow I generate a Google Slides presentation based on the data user provide me. Everything works fine.

The thing is on the thank you page. The tally form send the user to a thankyou.html url with the parameter submission-id in it (http://something.com/thankyou.html?submission-id={{id}})

Within this page, there is a JS code connected to the Make.com webhook I’ve created, but I can’t get the shared link of the Google Slides presentation to show to the user on that page.

So, here’s the thing:

  • The trigger of the scenario is Tally, not a Custom Webhook
  • How can I associate the webhook URL to the module “Webhook Response” after having the presentation URL to fill it?
  • Is there any other way to do the same thing?

Thanks guys

Welcome to the Make community!

You’ll need to store the id with the reference to the slides presentation in some kind of database like the Data Store.

so that in the other scenario, you can search for the ID and return the slides URL/reference.

To do this, you can try using the Data store “Add/replace a record” module —

Adds or replaces a record in the data store.

and the Data store “Search records” module —

Returns the records matching the specified criteria.

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/datastore, and the Data store page in the Make Help Centre, which covers the following:

  • Creating a data store in Make
  • Managing data structure of a data store
  • Actions
  • Managing records in data stores
  • Troubleshooting

and also,

  • Setting up the data structure
  • Updating the data structure of a data store
  • Add/Replace a Record
  • Update a Record
  • Get a Record
  • Check the Existence Of a Record
  • Delete a Record
  • Delete All Records
  • Search Records
  • Count Records
  • Adding and editing records
  • Deleting records
  • Backing up data in the data store
  • Restoring lost data from your data store
  • Updating data store structure
  • Out of space error

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thanks sam! The problem was exactly on not storing data, I solved with MySQL but Data Store would also be a great solution.
