How to connect Google AI and Canva
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google AI 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 Google AI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google AI or Canva will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google AI or Canva, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google AI Node
Select the Google AI node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Google AI and Canva 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.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google AI, 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 Google AI and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google AI 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 Google AI and Canva
Google AI + Canva + Google Slides: When a new presentation is created in Google Slides, the automation sends a prompt to Google AI (Gemini) to generate an outline. The outline is then used to automatically generate slides in Canva, and the design is exported to Google Slides.
Canva + Google AI + Google Docs: When a new document is created in Google Docs, the automation uses the document's content as a prompt for Google AI (Gemini) to generate design ideas. These ideas are then used to find related designs in Canva, which are then appended to the Google Doc.
