Give Canva asset approvals a clear deadline
Put the approval date where the team can see it before the asset is needed.
Trigger

Why this helps
Asset approvals often wait until the last minute because nobody has a clear date to work toward.
- Makes the approval date visible among daily commitments.
- Helps keep asset handoffs moving.
- Can include relevant collaborators when the request supplies them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to create an approval deadline event using the asset reference and timing in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real asset approval request.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis infer an approval date from the asset?
The request should supply the deadline and other details you want on the event.
Can the event include attendees?
