PowerPoint Automation

I have a use-case in which I want to add a button in a ppt slide and the button should be redirecting to a specific URL when clicked.
Is this possible with UiPath?

Welcome to the UiPath Community!

It’s possible but there is no readymade solution or redefined activities for your requirement.

You will have to use user interaction way to automate this like we automate web applications or any other desktop applications.

So you mean using clicks and type into activities in the foreground while ppt is opened? Can you share sample workflow for this? Is there any way possible without using user interaction with ppt?

Thanks!

Yes, using clicks and type into activities in the foreground while ppt is opened.

Other option? yes we have VBA macro option as well which is more reliable than front end.

Regarding sample workflow - sorry! don’t have much time to work on that but try searching for VBA macro code for this. You will easily get it

Once you have the code, use Activities - Execute Macro activity.

Thanks,

Macros are supported in powerpoint also…can use that…

Or write a vb code rather than fronend

Cheers
