Google Docs triggers
Canva actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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 Document Created
Triggers when a new Google Doc is created. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when new documents are detected. Uses timestamp filtering to efficiently poll for new documents.
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.
Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
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.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
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.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
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.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed

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.
