Is there any Google Slide AppScript trigger function called when the presenter progresses from slide-to-slide?

Question

I'd like to perform an action (while I'm presenting a Google Slides App) each time I progress from one slide to another. Is there such a trigger? If there isn't how could I implement that?

Looking at the progress example (https://github.com/googlesamples/apps-script/blob/master/slides/progress/progress.gs) that's just generates the progress bar into each slide during installation.

I'm not sure that is possible. In that example it looks like it generates static bars and puts them in each existing slide. It doesn't update dynamically. — Chris, Feb 18 '18 at 06:17
There isn't a trigger for slide change, but you can create Chrome extension that will track slide change, here's sample one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/remote-for-slides/pojijacppbhikhkmegdoechbfiiibppi?hl=en — Kos, Feb 18 '18 at 12:33
@Kos that's actually a good idea for an implementation, although it'll be outside of AppScripts. But can fulfill what I'd like to do (send notification when slide change). — Csaba Toth, Feb 19 '18 at 02:36

No, there isn't. Unfortunately Google Apps Script hasn't a built-in feature to implement custom-triggers.
