1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating asset uploads in Canva, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications like Just, Automation, and Canva.

To create an account, visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign up for free. Once registered, you can create automation workflows that connect your data sources with Canva.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, creating a workflow is the next step. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow, and select the appropriate folder for organization.

Once inside the workflow, you’ll see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. This setup allows you to define what event will trigger the automation and what actions will follow.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Upload Assets to Canva’).
• Select a folder for the workflow.

This workflow will automate the process of uploading images from a table to Canva, enhancing efficiency and saving time.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, first search for ‘A Table’ in the trigger app selection. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Record’ to initiate the process when a new image is added.

Connect your A Table account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’. After granting access, select the base and table where your images are stored. This step ensures that every time a new record is added, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select ‘A Table’ as the app.
• Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your A Table account and select the appropriate base and table.

After setting this up, test the trigger to ensure it captures the latest record correctly, which is crucial for the automation to work.

4. Uploading Assets to Canva Using Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set, the next step involves uploading the image to Canva using Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘Canva’ in the action app section and select the action event as ‘Upload Asset’.

Connect your Canva account and input the required fields: file name and file URL. Use the mapping feature to pull the correct data from the previous trigger step, ensuring the right image and filename are uploaded to Canva.

Select ‘Canva’ as the action app. Choose ‘Upload Asset’ as the action event. Map the fields for file name and file URL from the trigger step.

After completing this step, send a test request to confirm the image uploads successfully to your Canva account.

5. Updating the Record in A Table

After uploading the asset to Canva, the final step is to update the corresponding record in A Table using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select ‘A Table’ once more, this time choosing ‘Update Record’ as the action event.

Select the same base and table, then map the design ID received from the Canva upload action back to the A Table record. This ensures that the unique design ID is saved alongside the original image record.

Select ‘A Table’ as the action app. Choose ‘Update Record’ as the action event. Map the design ID to the corresponding record.

After saving this step, your automation is complete. Test it by adding a new image record in A Table and check if it uploads to Canva and updates the A Table record with the design ID.
