Move ActiveMerge documents into Canva designs

When an ActiveMerge workflow hands off a document, have Notis create a Canva design so you can review and refine it in one place.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create new Canva design

Creates a design from a preset, custom size, existing design, or brand template.

Why this helps

Rebuilding or reformatting completed documents by hand creates extra steps and makes creative work easy to postpone.

  • Create an editable Canva design from a document handoff.
  • Keep the design step close to the document workflow.
  • Review the resulting design through its Canva link.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Canva once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis the document handoff and desired Canva design outcome.
  • 3Pick the webhook trigger and have the handoff send an HTTP request to Notis.
  • 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real document request.
