Give every new Jira project a Canva folder

A new Jira project can get a matching home for its designs before creative work starts to pile up.

Trigger

New Project

Triggered when a new project is added in Jira

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

Creative files are easy to scatter when a project starts in Jira without a clear place for its Canva work.

  • Set up a design workspace as soon as a Jira project appears.
  • Make project related Canva work easier to find.
  • Avoid a separate manual folder creation step.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Canva once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a Canva folder named for the new Jira project.
  • 4Choose the Jira New Project trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real project event.
