Put finished Canva exports where your team can find them

Send the finished export with its request and let Notis place it in Drive for later use.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Upload File

Uploads a file (max 5mb) to google drive, moving it to a specified folder if a valid folder id is provided, otherwise uploads to root.

Why this helps

Final designs are easy to lose when export files stay in downloads or scattered messages.

  • Keep delivered assets in a shared, searchable location.
  • Reduce manual download and upload steps.
  • Preserve a clear trail from request to finished file.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canva and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for your export process.
  • 3Tell Notis to upload the Canva export file included with each request to Google Drive using a descriptive filename.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test the automation with one real export file.
