Move backlink campaign assets into Canva when you need them
Send a request to Notis when a backlink opportunity needs creative support. Notis can review Ahrefs findings and bring a relevant public asset into Canva.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create URL Asset Upload Job
Starts an asynchronous import of a public URL asset into the content library.
Why this helps
Backlink outreach and campaign visuals often get separated across research, tabs, and content libraries.
- Turn a specific backlink research request into an actionable Canva asset.
- Keep the asset available in Canva's content library for later design work.
- Get a run report with the upload outcome.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the Ahrefs backlink findings for the request and import a relevant publicly accessible asset URL into Canva.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Ahrefs example and confirm the asset import result.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook start?
An HTTP request starts the automation. Your webhook request should identify the backlink research or campaign context Notis should review.
Can Canva import any URL?
The URL asset import requires a publicly accessible URL. The workflow should only use an appropriate public asset URL found or provided for the task.
