Make monthly Canva asset checks easier to start
Gather the assets you want checked and give collaborators a clear way to report what needs updating.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Asset libraries drift when nobody has a lightweight routine for checking which designs are still current.
- Create a recurring starting point for asset reviews.
- Include selected Canva links and status questions.
- Keep the review message as a draft until you are ready.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a monthly Gmail asset check using the Canva links and status questions you provide.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real asset audit.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow determine which assets are outdated?
No baseline or current-status field is listed here. Supply the assets to review and ask recipients to confirm their status.
Will the draft include every Canva asset?
Scope the request to the assets you provide or that are accessible through the Canva connection.
