How to add Google Sheets Charts to Google Slides

In this article, we will jump straight to adding a Google Sheets chart to a Google Slides template. However, if this is your first time creating a workflow, please refer to this article to learn more.

The first step is to copy the chart from your Google Sheets Source:

Next, insert it into your template document by selecting the "Link to spreadsheet" option:

Note - If you select the 'Paste unlinked' option, your chart will be inserted into your template as a static snapshot, preventing updates from being reflected within it.

Now your template will now display the linked chart, ready to update automatically whenever the data in Google Sheets changes!
