To do this, click "Choose an app," find Canva or Captions, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Canva, Captions, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Canva and Captions integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Canva and Captions (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
