You may have a scenario where you want to build a PowerPoint using slides from multiple template PowerPoints.
2. Include a reference with the name template_list
to your JSON payload as below. template list
contains template_id
and template_name
properties. The template_id
will later be used by the JSON payload to define which template file is used for each slide. The template_name
must be the same name as the filename sent with the form as the "files" parameter.
Copy {
"presentation" : {
"template_list" : [
{
"template_id" : 1 ,
"template_name" : "template-1.pptx"
} ,
{
"template_id" : 2 ,
"template_name" : "template-2.pptx"
} ,
{
"template_id" : 3 ,
"template_name" : "template-3.pptx"
}
]
....
3. At the JSON payload give template_id
for each slide.
Copy "slides" :[
{
"slide_index" : 0 ,
"template_id" : 1 ,
....
You can't provide multiple template files and a single template file together as shown below.
