Turn a supported file into a Canva design

Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Design Import Job

A useful document or design file can stay outside the creative workflow when importing it requires a manual handoff.
- Start an import for a supported external file.
- Bring documents and design files into an editable Canva workflow.
- Reduce manual handoffs between record tracking and design work.

- 3Provide the supported file reference and any context in the webhook request.
