Questions about this workflow

Can the action capture only part of a page?

The Website to PNG action supports a snapshot of an entire web page or a specific viewport.

What does it need from the Canvas upload event?

The conversion action needs a website URL. The new upload's page must be accessible to Conversion tools.
