How to connect Gmail and Canva
Create a New Scenario to Connect Gmail and Canva
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 Gmail, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Gmail or Canva will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Gmail or Canva, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Gmail Node
Select the Gmail node from the app selection panel on the right.

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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, 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 Gmail and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail 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 Gmail and Canva
Gmail + Canva + Google Drive: When a new email with an attachment arrives in Gmail, specifically a Canva design, it automatically exports the design from Canva and saves it to a designated folder in Google Drive.
Canva + Gmail + Slack: When a new design is finalized in Canva, automatically send a proof of the design via Gmail to the client and notify the internal team about the new design proof in a designated Slack channel.
