Dynamic Google Sheets charts

Insert a Google Sheets chart into a Google Slides template, and Portant updates it with the latest data every time the workflow runs.

Note: This feature is only available in Google Slides. If you'd like to see it added to Google Docs, please upvote the Google Issue ticket.

Add a Google Sheets chart to a Google Slides template

This guide goes straight to adding a chart. If this is your first Portant workflow, see the quickstart first.

Copy the chart from your Google Sheets source:

Paste it into your Slides template using the Link to spreadsheet option:

If you pick Paste unlinked, the chart goes in as a static snapshot and won't update when your data changes.

Your template now shows the linked chart, ready to update automatically when the data in Google Sheets changes.

How charts update during automation

When a workflow runs, Portant refreshes every linked chart with the latest data from the source spreadsheet. It's the same as clicking the manual update button in Slides, just done for you on every run. Your generated decks always include the most recent version of the chart.
