Start a Canva project folder from a WhatsApp request
When someone asks to kick off a project in chat, create its Canva folder while the request is fresh.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create user or sub folder
This api creates a folder in a canva user's projects at the top level or within another folder, returning the new folder's id and additional details upon success.
Why this helps
New projects often begin in conversation, while the shared workspace stays unorganized until later.
- Create a named place for a new project's Canva work.
- Capture project naming details from the incoming request.
- Choose whether the folder belongs at the top level or inside another folder.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe how to name the folder from the request and whether to use an existing parent folder ID.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project-start request.
