See which fields a related Canva template can autofill
Use a WhatsApp review update as a cue to check the dataset definition of a related Canva brand template before planning the next creative step.
Trigger
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Action
Retrieve brand template dataset definition
Canva's brand template ids will change later this year, including a 6-month integration migration. api access requires enterprise membership, providing autofill for images, text, and charts, although chart data could change during preview.
Why this helps
You may need to know which fields a Canva template supports, but finding the dataset definition adds another task.
- Retrieve supported autofill fields from Canva.
- Make the available template inputs easier to review.
- Reduce manual lookup after a review change.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Canva once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to retrieve the dataset definition for the Canva template related to a review update.
- 3Tell Notis to note when the template reference or enterprise access is unavailable.
- 4Pick Message Template Status Update as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real status event and verify the related Canva template reference.
Questions about this workflow
Is this available to all Canva users?
The brand template dataset API requires Canva enterprise membership.
Does retrieving the definition autofill a design?
No. It retrieves the supported dataset definition; a separate autofill job would be needed to apply data.

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.
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
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.
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
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.
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
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.
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
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.
Exchange oauth 2 0 access or refresh token
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.
Fetch asset upload job status
Summarize asset upload outcome by repeatedly calling the endpoint until a 'success' or 'failed' status is received after using the create asset upload job api.
