Find the details behind a Canva asset
Send an asset ID and get its available metadata in a clear run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Retrieve asset metadata by id
You can retrieve the metadata of an asset by specifying its `assetid`.
Why this helps
An asset's identity and details can be hard to confirm when you have only an ID or an old reference.
- Turn an asset ID into useful context.
- Avoid opening Canva just to inspect asset metadata.
- Make asset references easier to verify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve metadata for the asset ID supplied with the request and summarize the returned details.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real asset ID.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook request need?
It needs to identify the Canva asset, typically with its asset ID. Use the exact request shape supported by your Notis webhook setup.
Can this rename or delete an asset?
No. It retrieves metadata. Canva provides separate actions for updating an asset's name and tags or deleting it.
