Confirm Canva folder details after handoffs

Make sure the handoff points to the folder your team will actually use.

Trigger

New Sent Message

Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.

Action

Retrieve folder details by id

Gets the name and other details of a folder using a folder's `folderid`.

Why this helps

A handoff email can contain a stale or unclear folder reference, sending collaborators on a search.

  • Verify handoff destinations
  • Reduce navigation confusion
  • Catch stale folder references early

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Outlook and Canva in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that retrieves details for the folder referenced in each sent handoff message and reports the result.
  • 3Pick New Sent Message as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel for verification results.
  • 5Test it with one handoff email.

Questions about this workflow

What if the folder cannot be found?

Have Notis report the missing folder so you can correct the handoff.

Does this move any files?

No. It verifies folder details only.
