Turn promotion emails into Canva designs

When a promotion brief lands in your inbox, Notis can turn it into a Canva design for your review.

Trigger

New Email Received

Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox

Action

Create canva design with optional asset

Create a new canva design using a preset or custom dimensions, and add an asset with `asset id` from a user's project using relevant apis.

Why this helps

Promotion details get buried in email, then have to be found and copied into Canva before anyone can start designing.

  • Start a design from a promotion brief without switching apps to copy its details.
  • Keep the original email available for context while reviewing the new design.
  • Let Notis interpret the brief in plain language.

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 turn promotion details from a new email into a Canva design.
  • 4Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real promotion email and review the created design.

Questions about this workflow

Does this work for every email?

It runs for new emails received in the selected Agent mail inbox. In your instruction, tell Notis which emails should become promotion designs and what to do when an email lacks a clear brief.

Can I specify a design format?

Yes. Include the desired format or dimensions in the automation instruction or email brief. Canva's create design action supports preset or custom dimensions.

Does it publish the design?

No. This workflow creates a Canva design for review. It does not publish it.
