After you connect Microsoft SharePoint, the following nodes become available in Profound Agents under Microsoft Suite > Microsoft PowerPoint. Use them to read the text of a presentation, slide by slide. Every node runs with the permissions of the account you select under Microsoft Account. A node reaches only the files that the connected account can open.
New to Agents? See Getting started with Agents in the Profound Help Center.

Get Content

Reads the text of a presentation.

​
Required inputs

  • Microsoft Account — Select a connected account from the dropdown.
  • Presentation — A .pptx file. Provide it in one of the following ways:
    • Search by name: search reaches only the files Microsoft has indexed, so a file created a moment ago may not appear yet.
    • Paste the SharePoint or OneDrive link of the presentation.
    • Browse by selecting Browse presentations in OneDrive or SharePoint at the bottom of the presentations list. This opens the Microsoft file picker, which also finds files search can’t show yet.
    • Use a variable from an earlier node’s output.

​
Optional inputs

  • Include speaker notes — Adds each slide’s speaker notes after its text, under a Speaker notes: line. Off by default.

​
Output

The presentation text as one string in Markdown format, in slide order. Each slide starts with a ## Slide N heading, and a slide with no text keeps its heading. Bulleted paragraphs become list items, and nested bullets are indented. Table cells become plain paragraphs. Images and charts aren’t included.
The node reads up to 5,000,000 characters of text from a file of up to 25 MB. Reading a larger presentation fails with an error and doesn’t return any results.
