Check out this help article: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/set-up-your-zap-action#set-up-your-action

It shows you how to use the ‘Custom’ mapping option to dynamically populate a field.

NOTE: Make sure to use a sample record from the trigger that has the desired data point populated.

I know that, however, I can not select Template using Custom Field. There is “Do not use custom Field” at here.

That limitation means you’ll have to configure different Zaps per GSlides Template you’re trying to use.

Hey @Yashiro Horie!

Did the suggestions help out with your Zap here? You would need a Create Presentation Template action per each template you want to use - as mentioned, you wouldn’t be able to use a custom value from the Airtable trigger here 👍
