How to connect Canva and Zendesk
Create a New Scenario to Connect Canva and Zendesk
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 Zendesk will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Canva or Zendesk, 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.

Set Up the Canva and Zendesk 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Canva, Zendesk, 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 Zendesk integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Canva and Zendesk (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 Zendesk
Zendesk + Canva + Slack: When a new ticket is created in Zendesk, the automation checks if the ticket description contains a request for marketing materials. If it does, a design draft is automatically created in Canva, and a notification is sent to the marketing team in Slack.
Zendesk + Canva + Google Drive: When a ticket is updated in Zendesk and a linked Canva design exists as an attachment, the design is copied to a specified Google Drive folder. This creates an archive of visuals associated with resolved Zendesk tickets.
