Snow

Use Canva with Snow

Snow is a personal AI assistant that builds real apps for you, and they can put Canva to work.

What Snow can do with Canva

These are the Canva actions available to the apps you build with Snow. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Create Asset Upload Job

Uploads an asset file to the user's Canva content library. This endpoint initiates an asynchronous upload job for images, videos, audio files, PDFs, or fonts. 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 comment in preview api

Creates a new comment thread on a Canva design. This preview API allows adding text comments to designs for collaboration and feedback. Returns the created comment with ID, author info, and timestamp. Comments can be replied to using the comment reply endpoint.

Create Design Import Job

Imports 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

Creates 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 folder

Tool 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 new Canva design

Creates a new Canva design with preset type or custom dimensions. Use when creating new designs for docs, presentations, whiteboards, or with specific pixel dimensions. Optionally insert an image asset into the design. Returns design ID, edit/view URLs, and metadata.

Create URL Asset Upload Job

Tool 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.

Create URL Import Job

Tool 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'.

Fetch asset upload job status

Polls 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 import job status.

Fetch current user details

Returns the User ID, Team ID, and display name of the user account associated with the provided access token.
