Remove placeholder if no data (Google Slides)

Have a ZAP that creates a new google slides presentation from a template when a new form response is received. 

 

Issue I have having is that if a section of the form is not answered this leaves the {{placeholders}} and I would like to remove them. 


Thanks!

Hi @Aaron.O 

Good question.

GDocs has this options when using a Template, but unfortunately GSlides does not.

 

Perhaps consider using multiple GSlides templates and Paths in Zaps.

Or you can try using Formatter > Text > Default to set a default value for null data points.

A Code step can also be used to check multiple data points.
