Seeking Suggestions for Merging PPT Files Using HTTP Request in Power Automate

Aspose.Slides Cloud Product Family

Hi Team,
I would appreciate your suggestions on implementing the following scenario:

I am considering using an HTTP request in Power Automate to merge PPT files. The files are stored in my local storage within the Aspose Cloud environment. I would like to merge these PPT files programmatically. Could you please guide me on how to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for your support and assistance.

Best regards,
Shaikh Rahmat

To utilize the Aspose API within Power Automate for merging PowerPoint presentations, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set Up Your Environment: Ensure you have access to the Aspose Slides API and have your AppSID and SecretKey ready. You will need these credentials to authenticate your API requests.

  2. Create a Merge Request: You can create a merge request using the PresentationsMergeRequest class. This request will include the paths of the presentations you want to merge.

  3. Use the API to Merge Presentations: You can call the merge method provided by the Aspose Slides API. Here’s a basic example of how to implement this in Java, which you can adapt for Power Automate:

    import com.aspose.slides.ApiException;
import com.aspose.slides.api.MergeDocumentApi;
import com.aspose.slides.model.DocumentResponse;
import com.aspose.slides.model.request.PresentationsMergeRequest;

public class PowerPointMerger {
    private static final String AppSID = "your_app_sid";
    private static final String SecretKey = "your_secret_key";
    private MergeDocumentApi api;

    public PowerPointMerger() {
        api = new MergeDocumentApi(AppSID, SecretKey);
    }

    public void mergePresentations(String outputFileName, List<String> presentationPaths) throws ApiException {
        PresentationsMergeRequest request = new PresentationsMergeRequest();
        request.setPresentationPaths(presentationPaths);
        DocumentResponse response = api.merge(outputFileName, request);
        System.out.println("Merge Response Code: " + response.getCode());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PowerPointMerger merger = new PowerPointMerger();
        List<String> presentations = Arrays.asList("presentation1.pptx", "presentation2.pptx");
        try {
            merger.mergePresentations("mergedPresentation.pptx", presentations);
        } catch (ApiException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

  4. Integrate with Power Automate: You can create a custom connector in Power Automate that calls this Java code or directly interacts with the Aspose API endpoints. This will allow you to automate the merging of PowerPoint presentations as part of your workflows.

  5. Testing: Make sure to test your implementation to ensure that the presentations are merged correctly and that the output file is generated as expected.

For more detailed examples and additional methods, you can refer to the Aspose Slides GitHub repository, which contains various examples of merging presentations here.
