Formstack 101: Using PowerPoint for documents

How to customize PowerPoints to include custom data and conditionally show pages

PowerPoint is a versatile tool for create highly customized document automations. Unlike text files where all content flows together, PowerPoint gives you complete control over the layout and presentation. Including data in your PowerPoints is just like every other Formstack Document - using the {$______} syntax.

Another helpful tip is the slideif function, which allows you to conditionally show or hide slides in your final document. Here are a few examples of the slideif function you can add to textboxes on your powerpoint slides.
