Turn launch briefs into Canva designs
Send Notis a brief when an idea is ready, and get a Canva design started without breaking your focus to set up a canvas.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create canva design with optional asset
Create a new canva design using a preset or custom dimensions, and add an asset with `asset id` from a user's project using relevant apis.
Why this helps
A clear brief can still stall while you open Canva, choose dimensions, and locate a starting asset.
- Start a design from a brief as soon as it arrives.
- Choose dimensions that fit the described deliverable.
- Reuse an existing project asset when one is identified.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canva design from each incoming brief, using a suitable preset or custom dimensions and an existing asset when specified.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief and review the resulting design.
