Brightdeck for n8n

Turn any n8n workflow into a finished presentation. A.I. Slides by Brightdeck is a verified n8n node that generates editable PowerPoint decks from a prompt, exports them as .pptx or PDF, and shares them — on n8n Cloud or your own self-hosted instance.

What it is

Decks in your workflows.

The A.I. Slides by Brightdeck node puts AI deck generation on the same canvas as the rest of your automation. Twelve operations cover the full lifecycle: Generate With AI, Create Blank, Get, Get Many, Update, and Get Share Link for presentations; Get Status for generation tasks; Export as PPTX and Export as PDF; and Get Many, Share, and Revoke for permissions.

The node is also usable as a tool by n8n AI Agents, so an agent can take a request like “make a six-slide deck about our hiring plan and send me the link” and chain Generate With AI and Get Share Link on its own. It is verified by n8n and listed in the public n8n integrations directory.

Set up in three steps.

01

Install the node

On n8n Cloud, open the nodes panel, search for Brightdeck, pick A.I. Slides by Brightdeck under More from the community, and click Install (instance owners and admins only). On self-hosted n8n, go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter the package name:

@brightdeck/n8n-nodes-ai-slides

Requires n8n 1.100.0 or later.

02

Connect your account

Add an A.I. Slides by Brightdeck OAuth2 API credential and click Connect — there are no fields to fill in. Sign in on the Brightdeck consent page and you're done. The credential uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE; no API key or client secret is involved, and a free Brightdeck account works.

03

Build the workflow

Start from any trigger, add Generate With AI with your prompt (optionally a slide count, or reference files from a binary input), then add Export as PPTX or Export as PDF and pass the download URL to email, Slack, Drive, or wherever the deck needs to go.

Advanced

Wait for generation to finish

Generate With AI returns as soon as the deck exists, with stage: "generating" while the slides render (usually 30–120 seconds). Before exporting, loop a Wait node and Task → Get Status until the status is completed. Export links are signed URLs that expire after 60 minutes, so download or forward the file in the same run.

If the account is out of credits, the output carries stage: "upgrade_required" instead of an error — add an If on that field to notify someone rather than poll.

Advanced

Prefer no install? Use the MCP Client Tool

n8n's built-in MCP Client Tool (n8n 2.28.0 or later) talks to Brightdeck's MCP server directly: set the endpoint to https://api.brightdeck.ai/mcp/, choose MCP OAuth2 authentication, and click Connect. Raise the tool's Timeout option to 180000 ms before calling deck_create_presentation.

See the Brightdeck MCP server page for the tool catalog and the integration docs on GitHub for connection details.

Automate your first deck from n8n.
