Make ActiveMerge files editable in Canva
When a supported file is ready, pass its handoff to Notis and let Canva import it as a design you can continue working on.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Design Import Job
Imports a file as a new editable design; the job runs asynchronously.
Why this helps
A finished file often needs edits, but recreating it from scratch adds friction and delays the next task.
- Import supported documents and design files as Canva designs.
- Continue editing after the file conversion finishes.
- Use a webhook to start the import from a completed handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which supported file handoff should become a Canva design.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and send the file details to Notis in an HTTP request.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real supported file.
