You’ll also find practical usage ideas, best practices, and troubleshooting tips. --- ## What is Microsoft PowerPoint? Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation tool in the Microsoft ecosystem. In Maybe*, the Microsoft PowerPoint integration lets you connect your Microsoft account so AI Agents and Automation Workflows can work with PowerPoint files stored in OneDrive/SharePoint for example, finding, copying, sharing, converting, and managing versions of presentations . --- ## Key Features - Securely connects your Microsoft PowerPoint account to Maybe* - Enables AI Agents to find and manage PowerPoint presentations stored in your Microsoft drive - Supports common file operations such as searching, downloading, copying, moving/renaming, deleting - Helps with collaboration by allowing Agents to create share links and review permissions - Supports governance and recovery with version history and restore - Can export presentations by converting PowerPoint files to PDF --- ## Example Use Cases 1. Automated client pack preparation - When a deal reaches a certain stage, an Automation Workflow can prompt an AI Agent to locate a “master” deck, copy it into a client folder, rename it, and create a share link for review. 1. Presentation governance and access checks - An AI Agent can list who has access to a presentation permissions , highlight potential risks e.g., overly broad sharing , and help you tighten access. 1. Publish-ready PDFs for distribution - After a deck is finalised, an AI Agent can convert it to PDF so teams can distribute a read-only version to partners or stakeholders. --- ## Getting Started ### How to Integrate Microsoft PowerPoint 1. Create or confirm your Microsoft PowerPoint account - If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to create one first. 1. In Maybe*, go to Integrations. 1. Search for PowerPoint. 1. Select Connect. 1. Sign in to your Microsoft account and approve permissions: - If you’re not signed in, you’ll be prompted to sign in and grant access. - If you’re already signed in, you’ll be prompted to confirm permissions. 1. Select Finish to complete the connection. --- ### How to Use Microsoft PowerPoint in Maybe* After connecting, Microsoft PowerPoint becomes available to your AI Agents and Automation Workflows as a connected integration. You can then include PowerPoint steps where it makes sense—for example: locating decks, preparing copies, generating share links, exporting to PDF, or handling version recovery. --- ## How to use Microsoft PowerPoint and your AI Agents Once connected, your AI Agents can help with real presentation workflows without repeating setup steps . Here are practical examples: ### 1 Presentation library management search, organise, reuse - What you do: Ask your Agent to find decks by keyword client, campaign, product and list results. - Benefit: Less time hunting for files; fewer mistakes using outdated decks. ### 2 Create a client-ready deck from a master template - What you do: Tell your Agent to copy a master presentation into a specific client folder and rename it consistently. - Benefit: Faster turnaround and consistent naming across the team. ### 3 Secure collaboration and sharing - What you do: Ask your Agent to create a share link and then check permissions. - Benefit: Easier collaboration while staying aligned with internal access policies. ### 4 Convert to PDF for distribution - What you do: Ask your Agent to export a presentation as a PDF when it’s final. - Benefit: A clean, read-only version for external stakeholders. ### 5 Restore a previous version if something goes wrong - What you do: Ask your Agent to list versions and restore the correct one. - Benefit: Rapid recovery from accidental edits. --- ## How your AI Agent can use this integration Your workspace exposes the following Microsoft PowerPoint-related plugins for AI Agents: - CreateMsPowerpointPresentation: Create a new empty .pptx presentation in OneDrive/SharePoint stored in the chosen folder, with conflict handling. - ListMsPowerpointPresentations: List PowerPoint presentations from OneDrive drive root or a specific folder supports sorting and pagination. - SearchMsPowerpointPresentations: Search for PowerPoint presentations across OneDrive matches filename/metadata/content; supports pagination. - GetMsPowerpointPresentation: Get PowerPoint presentation metadata by drive item ID or root-relative path. - DownloadMsPowerpointPresentation: Download a PowerPoint file and return a short-lived download URL when available. - CopyMsPowerpointPresentation: Copy a presentation to the same or a different folder, optionally renaming it Graph copy runs asynchronously and returns a monitor URL. - MoveOrRenameMsPowerpointPresentation: Move and/or rename a PowerPoint presentation by updating its OneDrive drive item. - DeleteMsPowerpointPresentation: Delete a PowerPoint presentation by ID may be recycled or permanently deleted depending on tenant settings. - CreateMsPowerpointOnedriveFolder: Create a new folder in OneDrive at root, under a parent folder ID, or under a root-relative path; supports conflict behaviour. - GetMyMsPowerpointOnedriveDrive: Get the signed-in user’s default OneDrive drive details id, quota, owner, webUrl, etc. - GetUserMsPowerpointOnedriveDrive: Get another user’s default OneDrive drive details requires sufficient tenant permissions. - GetMsPowerpointSharepointSiteDrive: Get a SharePoint site’s document library drive default drive, or all drives when requested. - CreateMsPowerpointPresentationShareLink: Create a sharing link for a PowerPoint drive item view/edit/embed; scope depends on tenant settings. - ListMsPowerpointPresentationPermissions: List sharing permissions on a PowerPoint drive item. - ResolveMsPowerpointSharedLink: Resolve a OneDrive/SharePoint sharing URL to the underlying PowerPoint drive item. - ConvertMsPowerpointPresentationToPdf: Export a PowerPoint presentation to PDF and return a short-lived download URL size limits may apply. - ListMsPowerpointPresentationVersions: List version history for a PowerPoint presentation supports pagination. - DownloadMsPowerpointPresentationVersion: Download a specific historical version of a PowerPoint presentation. - RestoreMsPowerpointPresentationVersion: Restore a prior version as the current PowerPoint file content. - SyncMsPowerpointDriveChanges: Track PowerPoint-related changes in OneDrive using delta queries added/changed/deleted items; supports incremental sync via delta_link . --- ## Best Practices - Double-check you’re connected to the correct Microsoft account especially if you use multiple logins . - Use clear naming conventions for decks client-name_project_version so searching is reliable. - Prefer sharing via managed share links rather than sending copies around. - Test any Automation Workflow that modifies, moves, or deletes files before enabling it for the wider team. - Use version history as a safety net: if a deck changes unexpectedly, restore a known-good version. --- ## Troubleshooting & Common Issues | Issue | Possible Cause | Suggested Solution | | --- | --- | --- | | Plugin won’t connect | No Microsoft PowerPoint account exists | Create your Microsoft account first, then retry the connection | | Sign-in prompt keeps appearing | Wrong account, session expired, or browser security settings | Sign in again and confirm it’s the intended Microsoft account | | Connection fails at permissions step | Permissions were not approved | Repeat the connection and select Confirm/Allow on the permissions screen | | Can’t find a presentation | The file name/location is different than expected | Use search-based plugins search by keyword , then confirm the folder path | | Share link created but access doesn’t work | Sharing scope restricted by tenant/admin policies | Recreate the share link with the appropriate scope, or ask your Microsoft admin to review sharing settings | | PDF conversion fails | File may be too large or unsupported | Try again with a smaller deck, or simplify media-heavy slides before converting | --- ## FAQs Can this be used in automations? Yes. Once connected, you can use Microsoft PowerPoint plugins inside Automation Workflows and AI Agent steps for example, searching for decks, copying files, sharing, and exporting to PDF . Is it free to use? Maybe* doesn’t charge separately just to connect an integration, but you will need an active Microsoft account/licence that supports PowerPoint and access to the files you want your Agent to use. Can I disable or remove the integration later? Yes. You can manage disconnect/reconnect the integration from the Integrations area in Maybe*. If I restore a previous version, can I undo that? Restoring a previous version typically creates a new “current” version based on the older content. If needed, you can use version history again to return to a later version.
