Connect AI agents to Google Slides

Setup

1. Install the SDK

   • Node.js
   • Python

   npm install @scalekit-sdk/node dotenv

2. Set your credentials

   Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

   SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

3. Create the Google Slides connection

   In AgentKit > Connections, create a Google Slides connection and copy its redirect URI. The name you give it is the connection_name your code passes. See Configure connections.

4. Register a Google OAuth app

   Google Slides connections use your own OAuth app. Register one with Google and add the redirect URI you copied.

   Then enter the app's Client ID and Client Secret on the Google Slides connection.

   Console steps with screenshots

   Register your Scalekit environment with the Google Slides connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

   1. Set up auth redirects

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Google Slides and click Create. Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

        

      • Navigate to Google Cloud Console → APIs & Services → Credentials. Select + Create Credentials, then OAuth client ID. Choose Web application from the Application type menu.

        

      • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + Add URI, paste the redirect URI, and click Create.

        

   2. Enable the Google Slides API

      • In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services → Library. Search for “Google Slides API” and click Enable.

   3. Get client credentials

      • Google provides your Client ID and Client Secret after you create the OAuth client ID in step 1.

   4. Add credentials in Scalekit

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.

      • Enter your credentials:

        • Client ID (from above)
        • Client Secret (from above)
        • Permissions (scopes — see Google API Scopes reference)

        

      • Click Save.

5. Authorize a user and make your first call

   • Node.js
   • Python

   1
   import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
   2
   import 'dotenv/config'
   3
   import { createInterface } from 'node:readline/promises'
   4
   
   5
   const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
   6
     process.env.SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL,
   7
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
   8
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
   9
   )
   10
   const actions = scalekit.actions
   11
   
   12
   const connector = 'googleslides'
   13
   const identifier = 'user_123'
   14
   
   15
   // Generate an authorization link for the user
   16
   const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
   17
   console.log('Authorize Google Slides:', link)
   18
   const rl = createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout })
   19
   await rl.question('Press Enter after authorizing...')
   20
   rl.close()
   21
   
   22
   // Make your first call
   23
   const result = await actions.executeTool({
   24
     connector,
   25
     identifier,
   26
     toolName: 'googleslides_read_presentation',
   27
     toolInput: { presentation_id: 'YOUR_PRESENTATION_ID' },
   28
   })
   29
   console.log(result)

   npx tsx quickstart.mts

   Each user signs in once. See Authorize a user for the full flow and statuses.

Workflows

const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName: 'googleslides',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  path: '/v1/presentations',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);

result = actions.request(
    connection_name='googleslides',
    identifier='user_123',
    path="/v1/presentations",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)

const result = await actions.executeTool({
  connector: 'googleslides',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  toolName: 'googleslides_create_presentation',
  toolInput: {},
});
console.log(result);

result = actions.execute_tool(
    connection_name='googleslides',
    identifier='user_123',
    tool_name='googleslides_create_presentation',
    tool_input={},
)
print(result)
