Why this helps
Creative work can start from an outdated task brief when changes do not make it across tools.
- Use the latest task context to start revised creative work.
- Make brief changes a visible trigger for design production.
- Reduce time spent tracking down what changed.

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 create a revised Canva design when a project task's brief is updated.
- 3Describe which task changes should inform the new design in one instruction.
- 4Pick Asana's Task Updated trigger for the project, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real brief update and review the new design.
Questions about this workflow
Does this edit the existing Canva design?
No. The selected action creates a new design. Review it alongside the existing design and decide which one to use.
Can Notis tell which details changed?
Use the updated task content available in the event. If you need comparison with an earlier version, that history must be available to Notis or supplied in the task.

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.
Tag Added to Task
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.

The oauth 2.0 endpoint issues time-limited (4-hour) access tokens of up to 4kb for user authorization via codes or refresh tokens. it requires client id/secret for authentication.
