Know what is inside a Canva folder
Get a scheduled inventory of a project folder so you can see its contents without opening items one by one.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List folder items by type with sorting
Lists the items in a folder, including each item's `type`. folders can contain: - other folders. - designs, such as instagram posts, presentations, and documents ([canva docs](https://www.canva.com/create/documents/)). - image assets.
Why this helps
Project folders can accumulate designs and assets until it takes too long to find what is current.
- See folder contents in a recurring review.
- Include item types to distinguish designs, assets, and folders.
- Ask Notis to summarize the inventory for a project or handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to list and summarize the items in the Canva folder you identify.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real folder and check that the inventory includes the expected item types.
