How to connect Canva and Coda

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Canva, Coda, 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 Coda integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Canva and Coda (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Canva and Coda
Canva + Coda + Slack: When new marketing material is uploaded to a specified folder in Canva, a new row is created in a Coda document for team review, and a Slack notification is sent to a designated channel to alert the team.
Coda + Canva + Google Drive: When a new row is added to a Coda document, it triggers the export of a design from Canva. The exported design is then saved to a specific folder in Google Drive.
