Add an Effect to an Interactive Sequence

Introduction

Aspose.Slides Cloud API allows you to read, add, modify, and delete animations from PowerPoint presentations. You can add effects to interactive animation sequences on a presentation slide using the following method.

CreateAnimationInteractiveSequenceEffect

API Information

API	Type	Description	Resource
/slides/{name}/slides/{slideIndex}/animation/interactiveSequences/{sequenceIndex}	POST	Adds a new effect to an interactive animation sequence on a presentation slide.	CreateAnimationInteractiveSequenceEffect

Request Parameters

Name	Type	Location	Required	Description
name	string	path	true	The name of a presentation file saved in a storage.
slideIndex	integer	path	true	The 1-based index of a slide.
sequenceIndex	integer	path	true	The 1-based index of an interactive animation sequence.
effect	`Effect`	body	true	The data transfer object with effect parameters.
password	string	header	false	The password to open the presentation.
folder	string	query	false	The folder where the presentation file is located.
storage	string	query	false	The storage where the folder is located.

Example

The document MyPresentation.pptx contains two interactive animation sequences on the first slide, each with a single effect (Fly and Split, for example). Add a Fade effect for the fourth shape into the second interactive sequence.
