Get notified when shared Google Slides are viewed

Get notified when shared Google Slides are viewed (with identity and context)
Share your Google Slides deck through Send to get instant alerts on opens and re‑opens, including who viewed, where, device, and total time. Route notifications to Slack, email, or your CRM so you can follow up right when interest spikes, and use AI Chat and Suggested Questions to answer common questions without another meeting.
When this is useful
Native Slides sharing gives you limited signal and no guided answers. Send adds identity capture, AI guidance, and webhooks so you respond faster with better context.
- Sales and success decks sent after a call
- Fundraising pitch decks
- Enablement or onboarding decks shared externally
Step‑by‑step: set up Google Slides view notifications
These steps keep setup simple and outcome‑focused.
- Add the Slides deck to Send
- Configure link settings and alerts
- Route events to your tools
Why this is faster with Send
You don’t just get a view count—you see identity and engagement, plus AI handles questions in‑page. Your timing and message improve.
- Instant alerts on opens and re‑opens
- Analytics show who viewed, location, device, and total time
- AI Chat and Suggested Questions reduce back‑and‑forth
Troubleshooting & tips
- Not receiving alerts? Verify the Webhook toggle and destination URL, and send a test event from Webhooks.
- Low engagement? Add Suggested Questions like "Pricing?", "Implementation timeline", or "Next steps," and mention “there’s AI chat inside” when sharing.
- Sensitive decks? Disable download/print and use a viewer gate (Name and Email, optionally Phone). Replace files under the same link to keep one URL.
Integrations & automation (webhooks)
- Triggers: Document open and Any link open
- Destinations: Clay, Zapier, Make for CRM updates, tasks, and alerts
- Useful fields: viewer name, email, phone (if gated), location, device, total time
Privacy and controls
- Require name, email, or phone; optionally hide content until provided
- Disable download/print when needed
- Replace files under the same link so your URL never changes
- Use personalized links with a custom slug for known recipients
