Steps your workflow can perform in Canva.
Create Asset Upload Job
Uploads an asset file to the user's Canva content library. This endpoint initiates an asynchronous upload job for images or videos. Returns a job ID to track the upload progress. Once complete, the asset can be used in designs, referenced by its asset ID, and managed through other asset endpoints. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_FETCH_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until it reaches 'success' or 'failed' status.
Create Design Import Job
Imports an external file as a new Canva design. This endpoint converts documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and design files (PSD, AI) into editable Canva designs. The import runs asynchronously and returns a job ID to track progress and retrieve the created design. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_RETRIEVE_DESIGN_IMPORT_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until it reaches 'success' or 'failed' to get the final design ID.
Create Design Resize Job
Creates a resized copy of an existing design (Canva Pro/Enterprise only). This endpoint creates a new design with different dimensions from an existing one. The resize operation runs asynchronously and preserves content where possible. Returns a job ID to track progress and retrieve the new design once complete. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_RETRIEVE_DESIGN_RESIZE_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until completion to get the resized design ID and access URLs.
Create folder
Tool to create a folder in Canva. Use when you need to organize designs, assets, or create nested folder structures in a user's projects or uploads folder.
Create new Canva design
Creates a Canva design with a preset type, custom dimensions, an existing design, or a brand template. Copying designs and using brand templates are Canva preview features. Optionally insert an image asset when using a preset or custom type. Returns design ID, edit/view URLs, and metadata.
Create URL Asset Upload Job
Tool to create an asynchronous Canva asset import job from a public URL. Use when you need to import an asset into Canva directly from a publicly accessible URL without S3 choreography.
Create URL Import Job
Tool to start an asynchronous job to import an external file from a URL as a new design in Canva. Use when you need to import a design from a publicly accessible URL. This is an async operation; poll the job status using the job ID until it reaches 'success' or 'failed'.
Fetch asset upload job status
Polls for asset upload job completion status. Use this after CANVA_CREATE_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB to check the upload progress. Repeatedly call this endpoint until a 'success' or 'failed' status is received to get the final asset ID and metadata. IMPORTANT: This tool is ONLY for direct file upload jobs (CANVA_CREATE_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB). Do NOT use this for URL import jobs created by CANVA_CREATE_URL_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB - those use a different API endpoint. Use CANVA_GET_URL_ASSET_UPLOADS_JOBID to poll URL asset upload job status.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I connect Canva?
- Sign up for Conductor Deck, then add a Canva step to a workflow on the visual canvas. The builder walks you through the connection it needs — an account authorization or the required keys — right inside the step. No separate setup or code.
- Is it free?
- Yes — Conductor Deck has a free tier you can build and run workflows on, with no credit card required. Paid plans raise the monthly run limits and add advanced features when you need them.
- What's the difference between a trigger and an action?
- A trigger is the event that starts a workflow — for example, a Stream Deck button press or an incoming event from a connected app. An action is a step the workflow performs once it runs. A workflow is one trigger followed by one or more actions.
