Initiates canva design export job
Canva's new job feature exports designs in multiple formats using a design id, with provided download links. the export status can be tracked via an api. exports with 'pro' quality may fail if the design contains unpaid premium elements.
Why this helps
Exporting alternate formats by hand creates a queue between a finished idea and a usable asset.
- Starts exports immediately
- Supports repeatable delivery formats
- Makes handoff status visible
