What it does

Description This workflow automatically generates personalized certificates in Google Slides and emails them to respondents only if they meet a minimum score threshold, using data submitted via Google Forms (stored in Google Sheets). Ideal for: Online courses Quizzes and workshops Event participation certificates Sheet Requirements Your connected Google Sheet (from the Google Form) must contain: Full Name – The name to appear on the certificate. Email – Recipient’s email address. Score – The test/quiz score used for threshold logic. Setup Instructions 1. Connect Google Sheets – Make sure your Form responses are linked to a Sheet with the columns mentioned above. 2. Set Score Threshold – Modify the If node to your desired minimum score (e.g., >= 80). 3. Customize Certificate Template – Use a Google Slides file with text placeholders like {{Full Name}}. 4. Connect Gmail & Google Drive – For sending emails and saving generated certificates. 5. Update File IDs – Replace any placeholder Slide and Drive file IDs with your own.
