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

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

Configure the Pinterest
Click on the Pinterest node to configure it. You can modify the Pinterest URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Canva Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Pinterest node, select Canva from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Canva.

Authenticate Canva
Now, click the Canva node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Canva settings. Authentication allows you to use Canva through Latenode.
Configure the Pinterest and Canva Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Pinterest 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 Pinterest, 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 Pinterest and Canva integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Pinterest 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 Pinterest and Canva
Pinterest + Canva + Shopify: When a new product is created in Shopify, a pin is created on Pinterest. Then, Canva automatically creates an image using the Pinterest pin as a template, which can then be used for Shopify ad banners.
Canva + Pinterest + Instagram: When a new pin is created on Pinterest, automatically design a corresponding Instagram post in Canva using the pin's image and description. The Canva design can then be uploaded to Instagram.
