Action

Create comment reply in design

This preview api allows replying to comments within a design on canva, with a limit of 100 replies per comment. users should note potential unannounced changes, and that preview apis are not eligible for public integrations.

Why this helps

Design decisions made in a project discussion can leave reviewers unsure whether their Canva feedback was addressed.

  • Close the loop on an existing Canva comment.
  • Carry a decision from the project discussion into design review.
  • Reduce the need to repeat review updates across apps.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Canva once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to reply to a matching Canva design comment when an Asana task comment contains a clear review decision.
  • 3Describe how to identify the relevant design and existing comment in one instruction, using details present in the task or comment.
  • 4Pick Asana's New Comment on Task trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real task comment and confirm the reply appears on the intended Canva comment.

Delete asset by id

You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetid`. this operation mirrors the behavior in the canva ui. deleting an item moves it to the trash. deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.

Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
