How to connect Database and Canva
Create a New Scenario to Connect Database and Canva
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Database, Canva, 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 Database and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Database and Canva (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Database and Canva
Database + Canva + Slack: When a new entry is created in the database, a Canva design is created. Then, a message containing the link to the Canva design is sent to a Slack channel.
Canva + Database + Google Sheets: When a design is exported from Canva, the design details are created as an object in a database. Additionally, a new row containing these details is added to a Google Sheet for tracking.
