[NEW]: You can now use Microsoft PowerPoint files as templates in Portant—and have your generated presentations automatically saved to your OneDrive!
This helps you simplify your workflow, keep your files safely organized in your Microsoft account, and seamlessly collaborate with your team. Try it out and experience a more efficient way to automate your documents!
In this article you will learn how to:
Add a Microsoft PowerPoint Document as a Template
Go to and click Log in with Microsoft.
Enter your email and password, then click Next.
Once logged in, click + Add Workflow. If this is your first time creating an automation, you can also select Start From Scratch.
Choose a PowerPoint Document as your template.
A modal will appear where you can:
Enter a title for your workflow
Pick a color and icon
Click Create to proceed
The next step is to add a Source to your Workflow. Click Add Source.
Select HubSpot as your source (or another available option).
Choose the HubSpot object you'd like to use—this can be a standard or custom object.
⚠️ If you haven’t connected your HubSpot account yet, you’ll be prompted to do so. Click Connect HubSpot to Portant and follow the steps.
Once you've selected your HubSpot source, your workflow will look like this: Open the Template block.
Click Edit in OneDrive (as a preview will not be available in Portant).
Important Note: Make sure your browser's pop-up blocker is disabled.
Two windows will open:
One with your PowerPoint template
One with the source table
We recommend positioning them side-by-side for easier copying and pasting.
To personalize your document:
Copy the tags from the Source Table using the Copy button
Paste them into your PowerPoint template where needed
Use all formatting tools available in PowerPoint to style your document as desired
Once you're happy with your template, you can go to your HubSpot object and run the automation from the App Card. To do so:
Find the Portant App Card
Click Generate/Actions, then select the workflow you created
Once the workflow is selected, a modal will appear showing the document being created.
You can find your generated outputs:
Inside the Portant App Cards in HubSpot
In your OneDrive account, under the connected folder
