About connecting Canva

What can an AI agent do in Canva?

32 distinct actions, listed in full on this page — 15 to read, 10 to create & update, 3 to send & publish, 4 to manage. An agent gets the ones that match what you described it doing, not all of them at once.

How do I connect Canva?

Once, in Settings → Integrations. Sign in with your account (OAuth). The connection is yours, shared by every agent you build — you are not re-authorising per agent, and the agent never sees your credentials.
