Delete one slide from a Google Presentation using API based off of date












0















Is it even possible to have a slide presentation delete a slide base off of a date. For example have the slide expire after a certain date. The purpose is for digital signage. I was just hoping to write a script that deleted a slide.



Please let me know if my question is not clear.

          I think you want to do a cron. Cron is time-based job scheduler, to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals.



          One sample would be using a time-driven trigger to run a function (delete slide).



          The code snippet that I used would be in Apps Script to run using a time driven trigger and code to delete a page in a slide.



          function checkslide(){

          var origin = Slides.Presentations.get(originSlideID).slides;

          Logger.log(origin[1])
          var slide = SlidesApp.openById(targetSlideID).getSlides();

          //remove all slide other than first page
          slide.splice(targetSlideID - 1, 1);
          for (var i in slide) {
          slide[i].remove();
          }

          //remove a specify depending on condition where j is the slide to be removed

          for (i = 0; i < slide.length; i++) {
          if(i == j){
          slide[i].remove();
          }

          }

          }
