This week DS29's client project involved new challenges we have never faced before. Sophie Sparkes tasked us with many Alteryx heavy challenges, one of them being to update a PowerPoint template with new string fields that are directly inputted from google sheets.
At first glance I thought this would not be possible at all, as to my knowledge, this has never been done in the DS before. However, after much research on Alteryx community blogs and blogs as well, we figured out how to approach the challenge.
Above is the documented flow of how we inputted Google Sheet fields and a PowerPoint template into Alteryx and then output it as an updated PowerPoint.
That is how we got a template to update directly from Google Sheets using an Alteryx workflow.
