How to connect Canva and Google AI
Create a New Scenario to Connect Canva and Google AI
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Canva, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Canva or Google AI will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Canva or Google AI, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Canva Node
Select the Canva node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Google AI
Now, click the Google AI node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Google AI settings. Authentication allows you to use Google AI through Latenode.
Configure the Canva and Google AI Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Canva and Google AI Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Canva, Google AI, 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 Google AI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Canva and Google AI (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 Google AI
Canva + Google AI + Google Slides: When a new presentation is created in Google Slides, a design is exported from Canva. The exported design is sent to Google AI's Gemini to generate an image. Then, the generated image can be added to the slide presentation.
Canva + Google AI + Facebook Ads Campaign Management: Generate ad creatives with AI using Gemini and Canva templates. When a new ad is created in Facebook Ads Campaign Management, generate an image with Gemini and upload it to Canva. Then, the creative from Canva can be used to update the ad in Facebook Ads Campaign Management.
