Canva + Google Drive + YouTube: When a new design is created in Canva, it's automatically exported and saved to a specific folder in Google Drive. This image can then be used as a thumbnail for a YouTube video by uploading it to the YouTube channel.
YouTube + Canva + Facebook: When a new video is uploaded to YouTube, automatically creates a promotional graphic in Canva using data from the YouTube video (title, description). This graphic is used for a Facebook post.
