Capture phone numbers on shared Google Slides

Capture phone numbers on shared Google Slides (clean tracking and faster outreach)

Add a phone gate to Google Slides with Send, then steer decisions with AI and track every view. Viewers get AI‑assisted answers. You get identity and engagement so follow‑ups are precise and timely.

When this is useful

  • You share decks externally and need contactable viewers
  • You want to prevent downloads of sensitive slides
  • You need updates without breaking the link

Step‑by‑step

  1. Add your Slides to Send
  2. Turn on a phone gate
  3. Add Suggested Questions and share

Why this is faster with Send

  • AI Chat answers questions immediately
  • Suggested Questions focus attention on decisions
  • Analytics show who viewed, device, location, time, and AI questions

What good looks like (QA checklist)

  • Gate requires phone along with name and email
  • Download/print disabled for confidential decks
  • Suggested Questions highlight pricing and next steps

Troubleshooting & tips

  • Viewer stuck at gate? Check settings and hidden‑until‑complete
  • Low engagement? Improve Suggested Questions and call out AI chat
  • Updating slides? Replace the file under the same link

Integrations & automation (webhooks)

  • Trigger opens to Clay, Zapier, or Make to update CRM and alert owners

Privacy/controls

  • Require name, email, and phone before viewing
  • Disable download/print when needed
  • Replace files under the same link anytime
