🎨 Canva integration

Connect Canva once and every agent in your squad can work in it for you, with exactly as much access as you decide to give, and a receipt for every call it makes.

What your squad can do in Canva

• Look things up, access user specific brand templates list; fetch canva connect signing public keys; fetch current user details, and more.
• Do real work, create asset upload job; create canva design export job; create canva design with optional asset; create comment reply in design, and more.
• Run it on a schedule: any of the 45 available tools below can be part of a scheduled task or a mission.

How to connect

1. In your dashboard, open Integrations and find Canva.
2. Click Connect and pick an access level (we recommend Read + write): this is the ceiling for every agent.
3. Sign in to Canva in the window that opens and approve. You land back on the Integrations page with the account live.

You can change an account's access level any time under Manage. It applies instantly, no re-authorization. If the connection ever expires, the card shows Reconnect; one click re-authorizes the same account with the same settings.

Multiple accounts: connect as many as you need (say, yours and a client's). One is primary. Agents use it unless a mission says otherwise.

Access levels

The level you pick at connect time is enforced on our side for every agent call: an agent can never do more than the level allows, no matter what it's asked.

On top of the connection's level, every agent can be individually allowed, scoped down, or denied for this app from the Integrations page. Deny an agent and it doesn't even see the connection.

Every tool, in plain terms

The 45 tools agents use in Canva through Mission Control, and the lowest access level that includes each. Agents discover these themselves. You never have to name a tool; asking in plain language is enough. A few rows are marked "Not currently enabled": Canva offers them, but no access level includes them yet, so agents can't run them.

What agents can't do in Canva (yet)

• Editing inside a design isn't possible, for anyone. Canva's public API does not let any outside tool change text or elements in an existing design. Your agent can create designs, upload assets, comment, resize, export, and import files as new designs, but the pixel-level editing happens in Canva itself.
• Template autofill needs brand templates. The autofill tool fills data into brand templates, which are a Canva Pro/Enterprise feature. On a free plan, have the agent create the design and drop in uploaded assets instead.
• A practical pattern that works: have an image-capable agent generate the graphic, upload it as an asset, create a design from that asset, then export: Canva becomes the organized library, not the drawing hand.
• If something you need is missing, there's usually a path: add the service's API key under Settings → Custom integrations and your agents can call it directly. See custom integrations & secrets. You can also ask your lead agent to open a ticket describing what it needs.

Using it in missions

Real asks that work well:

• “Create a new 1080×1080 design from the product photo I uploaded and export it as PNG for Instagram.”
• “Export the 'October promo' design as a PDF and attach it to the client email draft.”
• “Import this PowerPoint as a Canva design so the team can polish it.”
