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

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Discourse, 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 Discourse and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse 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 Discourse and Canva

Discourse + Canva + Slack: When a new topic is created in Discourse, a visual summary is generated in Canva using the topic's title. This summary is then shared as a message to a designated Slack channel.

Canva + Discourse + Google Drive: Design a forum post header in Canva, upload the image to Google Drive, and then create a new post in Discourse with a link to the uploaded image.
