Make project updates easier to share visually
Give each meaningful project update a visual starting point in Canva, without rebuilding its context from scratch.
Trigger
Project Update Posted
Fires when a project status update is posted on the Linear project's Updates tab. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
Action
Create canva design with optional asset
