Export Canva designs from a workflow handoff
When an ActiveMerge workflow signals that a design is ready, have Notis start its Canva export job and report the outcome.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Initiates canva design export job
Why this helps
Remembering to export a finished design adds one more follow-up task before a file is ready to share.
- Start an export when a design handoff arrives.
- Use Canva's export job flow for supported formats.
- Keep export progress and result links in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis which design handoff should start an export and the desired format.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and send the design details to Notis in an HTTP request.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real design handoff.
Questions about this workflow
Which formats can I export?
Available formats depend on the design. Canva provides an action to check supported export formats, including options such as PDF, PNG, JPG, PPTX, and MP4.
Does the export finish in the same request?
No. The export runs as a job. The result action returns download links when the job is complete.
