What to do if your action is not listed here?

If this component doesn't have the action you need, you can use Custom Action to create your own. Custom Actions empower you to define HTTP requests tailored to your specific requirements, allowing for greater flexibility in integrating with external services or APIs.

To create a Custom Action, simply specify the desired HTTP method, path, and any necessary parameters. This way, you can extend the functionality of your component beyond the predefined actions, ensuring that you can meet all your integration needs effectively.

How to find presentation ID

To find a Google Presentation ID, open the presentation in edit mode and look at the URL in your browser's address bar. The ID is the long string of letters, numbers, and hyphens located between /d/ and /edit. Example: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/edit?slide=id.p#slide=id.p.
