Questions about this workflow
Does this automation create a design from every AnyDB record?
It runs when its Notis webhook is called. Set up the webhook to start it for the records you want processed.
Can Notis add an existing Canva asset?
The selected create design action supports an optional asset from the user's Canva project. Include the asset details in your instruction when relevant.
Can it use an AnyDB field that is not sent with the webhook?
