@presentations-ai/n8n-nodes-presentations-ai

Official n8n community node for Presentations.AI — generate, transform, and export AI-powered slide decks from your workflows.

Installation

In n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter @presentations-ai/n8n-nodes-presentations-ai.

For self-hosted installations, see n8n's community node docs.

Credentials

1. In Presentations.AI, go to console.presentations.ai and create an API key.
2. In n8n, create a new Presentations.AI API credential and paste the key (starts with pai_).
3. The default base URL is https://api.presentations.ai. Change it only if you're on a staging or self-hosted endpoint.

Click Test on the credential to verify it works before saving.

Operations

Presentation

• Create From Topic — generate a full deck from a single topic or brief. The most common starting point.
• Create Single Slide — generate one AI-designed slide. Good for title cards, summary slides, or one-off visuals.
• Create From Content — convert raw text (articles, notes, meeting transcripts) into a deck. Choose how aggressively to rewrite via Preservation Mode.
• Create From File — convert a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, MD, or RTF file (max 5 MB) into a deck. Pulls binary data from the previous node (defaults to the data property).

All creation ops export to PPTX, PPT, PDF, image, render (HTML preview), or share link.

Job

• Check Status — poll an async generation. Accepts either the bare job_id returned by a previous async op, or the full pollUrl (the trailing path segment is used as the job id). Returns pending, completed, or failed.

Preservation Mode (Content / File ops)

Controls how the input is treated:

• Enhance — expand short input into full slides
• Summarize — condense long input into key slides
• Preserve — keep the input structure as-is (slide count auto-derived)
• Instruction — use the Topic field as a custom transformation prompt

Async generation

Long decks can take more than a minute. Two patterns:

• Webhook callback — set Callback URL on the creation op. The op returns immediately with a job_id and Presentations.AI POSTs the finished deck to your URL when ready.
• Polling — set Return Job ID Immediately to true. Then use Job → Check Status in a loop (with a Wait node) until the status is completed.

Common workflows

Generate from a topic (simplest)

Manual Trigger  →  Presentations.AI: Create From Topic  →  Set { document_url }

Notes → deck

Chat Trigger / Form Trigger  →  Presentations.AI: Create From Content  →  Reply with the URL

PDF / DOCX → deck

Webhook (file upload)  →  Presentations.AI: Create From File  →  Reply with the URL

Bulk generation with async + polling

Read rows from Google Sheets  →  Presentations.AI: Create From Topic (Return Job ID Immediately = true)  →  Save job_id to sheet

— separate scheduled workflow —
Read rows where status='pending'  →  Presentations.AI: Check Status  →  Update sheet when completed

AI agent / tool use

This node has usableAsTool: true, so it's available to n8n's AI agents. An agent can call any of the operations directly when configured as a tool.
