# Microsoft PowerPoint 365

The `robomotion powerpoint365` CLI connects to Microsoft PowerPoint 365 via the Graph API for presentation management. It creates presentations from templates, replaces text and images in slides, duplicates slides, manages slide content, and exports to PDF — ideal for automated presentation generation.

## When to use
- Create presentations from templates in OneDrive/SharePoint
- Replace text and images in slides for automated generation
- Duplicate slides and manage presentation structure
- Export presentations to PDF

## Prerequisites
- `robomotion` CLI installed
- Package installed: `robomotion install powerpoint365`
- Microsoft 365 OAuth2 credentials configured via Robomotion vault

## IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a **separate process** — connection IDs from `connect` do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use `--session` on `connect` and pass `--session-id` to all subsequent commands.

## Workflow
1. Install (once): `robomotion install powerpoint365`
2. Connect with session:
   ```
   robomotion powerpoint365 pptx_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   ```
3. Use the returned `client-id` and `session-id` in all subsequent commands:
   ```
   robomotion powerpoint365 pptx_create_from_template --client-id "<client-id>" --template-path <tmpl> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```
4. Disconnect when done:
   ```
   robomotion powerpoint365 pptx_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   ```

**Always** append `--output json` to get structured JSON results.
