Things your AI can do in Canva
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Canva — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Create Asset Upload Job
PopularUploads an asset file to the user's Canva content library. This endpoint initiates an asynchronous upload job for images or videos. Returns a job ID to track the upload progress. Once complete, the asset can be used in designs, referenced by its asset ID, and managed through other asset endpoints. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_FETCH_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until it reaches 'success' or 'failed' status.
Create Design Import Job
PopularImports an external file as a new Canva design. This endpoint converts documents (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and design files (PSD, AI) into editable Canva designs. The import runs asynchronously and returns a job ID to track progress and retrieve the created design. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_RETRIEVE_DESIGN_IMPORT_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until it reaches 'success' or 'failed' to get the final design ID.
Create Design Resize Job
PopularCreates a resized copy of an existing design (Canva Pro/Enterprise only). This endpoint creates a new design with different dimensions from an existing one. The resize operation runs asynchronously and preserves content where possible. Returns a job ID to track progress and retrieve the new design once complete. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use CANVA_RETRIEVE_DESIGN_RESIZE_JOB_STATUS to poll the job status until completion to get the resized design ID and access URLs.
Create URL Asset Upload Job
PopularTool to create an asynchronous Canva asset import job from a public URL. Use when you need to import an asset into Canva directly from a publicly accessible URL without S3 choreography.
Fetch asset upload job status
PopularPolls for asset upload job completion status. Use this after CANVA_CREATE_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB to check the upload progress. Repeatedly call this endpoint until a 'success' or 'failed' status is received to get the final asset ID and metadata. IMPORTANT: This tool is ONLY for direct file upload jobs (CANVA_CREATE_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB). Do NOT use this for URL import jobs created by CANVA_CREATE_URL_ASSET_UPLOAD_JOB - those use a different API endpoint. Use CANVA_GET_URL_ASSET_UPLOADS_JOBID to poll URL asset upload job status.
Fetch current user details
PopularReturns the User ID and Team ID associated with the provided access token. Use CANVA_RETRIEVE_USER_PROFILE_DATA to retrieve the user's display name.
Fetch design metadata and access information
PopularGets the metadata for a design. This includes owner information, URLs for editing and viewing, and thumbnail information.
Get design export job result
PopularPolls for design export job completion status. Use this after CANVA_CREATE_CANVA_DESIGN_EXPORT_JOB to check the export progress. Call this endpoint repeatedly until the job is complete to receive download links for the exported design pages. Download URLs expire after 24 hours.
Get design export formats
PopularLists available file formats for exporting a design. Use this to check which export formats (PDF, JPG, PNG, SVG, PPTX, GIF, MP4, HTML bundle, standalone HTML, and CSV) are supported for a specific design.
Get URL asset upload job status
PopularTool to retrieve the status and result of a URL-based asset upload job. Use this after creating a URL asset upload job to check progress and retrieve the uploaded asset ID when successful.
Get URL import job status
PopularPolls for URL import job completion status. Use this after creating a URL import job to check the import progress. Repeatedly call this endpoint until a 'success' or 'failed' status is received to get the final imported design ID and metadata.
Get user capabilities
PopularLists the API capabilities for the user account associated with the provided access token. Use when you need to check what features are available based on the user's Canva plan.
Show 33 more things it can do
List User Designs
PopularProvides a summary of Canva user designs, includes search filtering, and allows showing both self-created and shared designs with sorting options.
Create new Canva design
PopularCreates a Canva design with a preset type, custom dimensions, an existing design, or a brand template. Copying designs and using brand templates are Canva preview features. Optionally insert an image asset when using a preset or custom type. Returns design ID, edit/view URLs, and metadata.
Start design export job
PopularStarts a new asynchronous job to export a Canva design file. Use when exporting designs to various formats (PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, PPTX, MP4, CSV, and HTML). Returns a job ID that can be used to poll for completion status and download URLs. IMPORTANT: Format compatibility varies by design type. Before exporting, use the CANVA_GET_DESIGNS_DESIGNID_EXPORT_FORMATS action to check which formats are supported for the specific design. Attempting to export in an unsupported format will result in a 400 error (e.g., 'png export not supported for this design type').
Create folder
PopularTool to create a folder in Canva. Use when you need to organize designs, assets, or create nested folder structures in a user's projects or uploads folder.
Create URL Import Job
PopularTool to start an asynchronous job to import an external file from a URL as a new design in Canva. Use when you need to import a design from a publicly accessible URL. This is an async operation; poll the job status using the job ID until it reaches 'success' or 'failed'.
Retrieve asset metadata by id
PopularYou can retrieve the metadata of an asset by specifying its `assetId`.
Retrieve design import job status

Retrieve Design Resize Job Status
PopularRetrieves the status and results of a design resize job. Polls for design resize job completion status. Use this after CANVA_CREATE_DESIGN_RESIZE_JOB to check the resize progress. Keep polling until status is 'success' or 'failed'. Successful jobs include the new design ID and temporary access URLs.

Follow the response's continuation token to retrieve additional pages. Dataset definitions are available from CANVA_RETRIEVE_BRAND_TEMPLATE_DATASET_DEFINITION.
Delete asset by id
You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetId`. This operation mirrors the behavior in the Canva UI. Deleting an item moves it to the trash. Deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.
Exchange oauth 2 0 access or refresh token
The OAuth 2.0 endpoint issues time-limited (4-hour) access tokens of up to 4KB for user authorization via codes or refresh tokens. It requires client ID/secret for authentication.
Fetch canva connect signing public keys
The API for verifying Canva webhooks, 'connect/keys,' is in preview, meaning unstable, not for public integrations, and provides a rotating JWK for signature verification to prevent replay attacks. Cache keys for efficiency.
Get design comment thread replies
Retrieves a page of replies for a comment or suggestion thread on a design. Returns up to limit replies (default 50, maximum 100); follow the continuation token to retrieve the rest. This is a preview API. Public integrations that use it cannot pass Canva's review process.
Get specific design comment reply

Get designs designid comments threadid

List design pages with pagination
Preview API for Canva: subject to unannounced changes and not for public integrations. Lists metadata for design pages with optional `offset` and `limit`; not applicable to all design types.
List folder items by type with sorting
Lists folder items, including folders, designs, image assets, and brand templates. Brand templates are returned only when explicitly requested in `item_types` and the user's plan supports them. Video assets are currently not returned.
Move item to specified folder
Transfers an item to a different folder by specifying both the destination folder's ID and the item's ID. If the item is in various folders, an error occurs; manual relocation via Canva UI is required.
Post designs designid comments

Retrieveuserprofiledata
Currently, this returns the display name of the user account associated with the provided access token. More user information is expected to be included in the future.
Revoke oauth tokens
Revoke an access token or refresh token. Revoking a refresh token also revokes its lineage and user consent, requiring re-authentication. Authenticate using either basic access with Base64-encoded credentials or body parameters with client ID and secret.
Update asset s name and tags by id
You can update the name and tags of an asset by specifying its `assetId`. Updating the tags replaces all existing tags of the asset.

Questions other Canva users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Canva today, you can set this up. You'll connect Canva, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Canva login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Canva or delete everything any time.
What happens when Canva updates their app?
We handle it. When Canva adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Canva takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Canva — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
