How to embed hyperlinks from a table field into PowerPoint presentations using the Slides app
Use one of the options listed below to insert a live hyperlink into your PowerPoint template.
1. Use a URL stored in a table to hyperlink to text also stored in the table
This method requires two text fields. One field to store the text you wish to display in the document and one field to store the URL for the hyperlink.
{~~ DISPLAY_TEXT_FIELD_NAME | hyperlink: URL_FIELD_NAME }
2. Use a URL stored in a table to hyperlink text stored within the template itself
This method requires one text field to store the URL. Enclose the text you would like to hyperlink within the syntax as displayed below.
{~~ “This text will be linked” | hyperlink: URL_FIELD_NAME }
Example
Below is an image of the two fields in your table that would be pulled in for the hyperlink.
The following image displays how the syntax is placed in your PowerPoint slide using the fields from your table.
Here is the export output from Pitchly using the syntax in your PowerPoint presentation.
Once your syntax is complete, open the Slides app panel and add your template by either dragging and dropping it into the New Template box, or clicking on the box itself to add the file.
After selecting a record from your table, navigate to the Slides app panel and export using the template of your choice.
