Keep new Canvas course uploads connected to Canva work
When a course file arrives, create a Canva folder to collect related visual materials.
Trigger
New Canvas File Upload

Action
Create user or sub folder
This api creates a folder in a canva user's projects at the top level or within another folder, returning the new folder's id and additional details upon success.
Why this helps
New course files often trigger design work, but the supporting materials can get scattered before that work begins.
- Create a clear destination for related Canva materials.
- Reduce setup friction after a new course upload.
- Keep course organization consistent.

- 1Connect Canvas and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.

Questions about this workflow
Does this upload the Canvas file into Canva?
No. The chosen action creates a Canva folder. The listed action events do not include uploading a Canvas file as an asset.
Can it keep all uploads in one existing folder?
The create folder action makes a new folder. If you want to organize existing items, use an appropriate folder workflow and identify the destination explicitly.
