Before You Start
Ask yourself:
Has these slides ever worked on screen?
Is the screen showing nothing, or is the content just not updating?
Your answer determines where to start — use the steps below for reports that have previously worked, or jump to the Never Worked section at the bottom.
Step 1 – Check for Notification Errors
Open the Google Slides app and go to the Information tab
Scroll down and look at these two fields for error messages:
Outstanding source reports
Latest notification from the source
These notifications help point you in the right direction for troubleshooting.
Step 2 – Check the Source Status
Go to the app's Source tab
Check the Source is pushing data field:
✅ Green checkmark — connection is healthy, proceed to Step 3
❌ Red X — Valotalive is not receiving updates from Google Slides, reauthorize the integration under My Account → Service Integrations

Also verify:
Latest content timestamp matches when your Google Slides was last updated. A slight sync delay is normal.
Current data shows the slides you expect — including timestamps, author names, and the first line of each post.
Step 3 – Check Filters in Configuration
Go to the Configuration tab and click Show Advanced
Review all active filters and confirm their settings.
Step 4 – Verify the Correct Google Slides Is Selected
The link to the Google Slides can break if the site was moved or renamed.
Go to the Configuration tab
Use the File Picker to re-select the correct Google Slides
You can only do this for apps you own. Check the app owner under the Information tab.
