Action

List User Designs

Provides a summary of canva user designs, includes search filtering, and allows showing both self-created and shared designs with sorting options.

Why this helps

Finding the right existing creative can mean searching an inbox for clues, then manually scanning Canva projects.

  • Search existing Canva designs using the context in a new email.
  • Get likely matches in the run report without manually browsing projects first.
  • Keep the request and its design lookup tied to the same automation run.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Canva once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe how Notis should search Canva designs using the request and context in a new email.
  • 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email that names or describes an existing design.

Questions about this workflow

Can it find a design if the email does not include its name?

It can search using the details present in the email, but results may be less precise if the request lacks identifying context.

Does this workflow edit or move any design?

No. It lists user designs with search filtering and reports likely matches for review.

Can it see every design in Canva?

The action can list user designs, including self-created and shared designs with sorting options. Access depends on the connected Canva account.
