Status: Coming soon

Canva is where many creators make thumbnails, logos, carousels, and brand graphics. Once you connect it, Marketing can find your designs, export one as an image or a video for a post, and start a new design at the right size for you to finish.

> The Canva integration is Coming soon. This page describes how it will work. The integrations open at launch are GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

## Which assistants use it

| Assistant | Status |
| --- | --- |
| [Marketing](/docs/personas/marketing) | Coming soon |

## What assistants can do

| Ability | How it runs |
| --- | --- |
| List and search your designs | Reads on its own |
| Export a design to PNG, JPG, PDF, or MP4 | Reads on its own |
| Start a new design at the size you need (YouTube thumbnail, Short, Reel, feed) | Waits for your Approve |
| Delete a design | Never offered |

## Setup (when it opens)

1. In the Canva Developer Portal, create an integration with the `design:meta:read`, `design:content:read`, and `design:content:write` scopes, and add your redirect address.
2. Sign in to the integration once to get a refresh token.
3. Open [Integrations](https://stellarfirm.ai/app/integrations) and pick **Canva**.
4. Paste the client ID, the client secret, and the refresh token, switch on the live option, and press **Connect**.

## Permissions

- **Read** your designs, so Marketing can find them.
- **Read design content**, so Marketing can export a design.
- **Write design content**, so Marketing can start a new design after you approve.

## Good to know

- Canva cannot design from a prompt through this connection. A new design opens blank at the right size, with the brief in its title, and you finish it in Canva.
- Canva deletes a blank design nobody edits within seven days.
- Export links work for one day. Publish or save the file soon after.
- Canva gives out a new refresh token every time it is used, and StellarFirm keeps the newest one. If Canva stops accepting it, sign in to the integration again and paste the new token.

## Prompts to try

```prompt title="Export a thumbnail"
Marketing, find my latest thumbnail designs in Canva and export the best one as a PNG for the next video.
```

```prompt title="Start a design"
Marketing, start a vertical Canva design for a Reel cover titled [title]. Wait for my Approve.
```
