What is Canva Connect?
The Canva skill for Openclaw Skills enables developers and creators to bridge the gap between their local development environment and the Canva platform. It leverages the Canva Connect API to perform high-level design management, asset handling, and organizational tasks. This skill is particularly valuable for those looking to automate repetitive design exports or maintain a synchronized asset library across multiple projects using Openclaw Skills, providing a bridge for asset pipelines and template-driven content creation.
Canva Connect Use Cases
- Developing automated asset pipelines by uploading generated graphics directly to Canva folders.
- Executing batch export jobs for finished designs into professional formats like PNG, PDF, or MP4.
- Keeping design workspaces organized by programmatically creating folders and moving items via Openclaw Skills.
- Generating personalized marketing content at scale by using Openclaw Skills to autofill brand templates with dynamic JSON data.
How Canva Connect Works
- Authentication is established via an OAuth 2.0 flow, which securely stores access and refresh tokens locally.
- The skill sends authenticated requests to the Canva Connect API to retrieve design lists, folder structures, or asset metadata.
- Design creation or brand template autofill requests are processed to generate new design IDs based on specific document types.
- Export jobs are initiated for specified designs; the skill monitors the job status until the file is ready for local download.
- All API interactions are managed through the Openclaw Skills interface, ensuring efficient caching and rate-limit handling.
Canva Connect Setup
1. Create Canva Integration
Register an integration at the Canva Developer Portal. You must obtain a Client ID and Client Secret, and set your OAuth redirect URL to http://127.0.0.1:3001/oauth/redirect. Ensure the following scopes are enabled: design:content, design:meta, asset, brandtemplate:meta, brandtemplate:content, and profile.
2. Configure Environment
Add your credentials to your configuration file or set them as environment variables in your terminal:
export CANVA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export CANVA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
3. Authenticate
Run the authentication script to authorize the skill through your browser:
{baseDir}/scripts/canva.sh auth
