Google Slides OAuth Integration
Connect Google Slides to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.
Google Slides is Google's online presentation app. Each user connects their own Google Slides account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Google Slides API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.
How Pathfix helps
- 01
OAuth authorization
Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Google Slides OAuth app, so users approve access on Google’s own consent screen.
- 02
Token management
Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.
- 03
Token refresh
Where Google Slides issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.
- 04
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Google Slides API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Google Slides.
You own the Google Slides OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
