Bring GitHub review feedback into Canva
Keep the conversation near the design your team is refining.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Triggers when a new review is submitted for a GitHub pull request. Emits an event for each newly submitted review on the monitored pull request, covering all review types: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, and DISMISSED.
Action
Create design comment in preview api
This api is in preview and may change without notice; integrations using it won't pass review. it allows creating comments on a design, with a limit of 1000 comments per design.
Why this helps
Feedback can split across code review and design review, making follow-up easy to lose.
- Keeps feedback visible in the creative workspace
- Reduces copying between tools

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Canva. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Canva actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Access user specific brand templates list
This year, brand template ids will change; integrations storing them must update within 6 months. also, api use requires canva enterprise membership.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create canva design with optional asset
Create a new canva design using a preset or custom dimensions, and add an asset with `asset id` from a user's project using relevant apis.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create comment reply in design
This preview api allows replying to comments within a design on canva, with a limit of 100 replies per comment. users should note potential unannounced changes, and that preview apis are not eligible for public integrations.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create design comment in preview api
This api is in preview and may change without notice; integrations using it won't pass review. it allows creating comments on a design, with a limit of 1000 comments per design.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
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.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete asset by id
You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetid`. this operation mirrors the behavior in the canva ui. deleting an item moves it to the trash. deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Exchange oauth 2 0 access or refresh token
The oauth 2.0 endpoint issues time-limited (4-hour) access tokens of up to 4kb for user authorization via codes or refresh tokens. it requires client id/secret for authentication.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Fetch asset upload job status
Summarize asset upload outcome by repeatedly calling the endpoint until a 'success' or 'failed' status is received after using the create asset upload job api.
