2. Creating the Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you’ve accessed your Pabbly Connect dashboard, the next step is to create an automation workflow. Name your workflow appropriately, for example, ‘Upload Images to Canva.’ Select the folder where you want to save this workflow. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to open the workflow.
• You will see a trigger window and an action window.

In the trigger window, you will select the app that will initiate the automation. Choose ‘A Table’ as your app and set the trigger event to ‘New Record’. This setup ensures that whenever a new record is added to your table, Pabbly Connect will respond accordingly.

3. Connecting A Table to Pabbly Connect

To connect your table to Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button in the trigger window. Select ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your table data. using Pabbly Connect

Once connected, select the base from your table where the records are stored. Choose the specific table that contains the images you want to automate. Make sure to add a field named ‘Created’ with the type set to ‘Created Time’ to help Pabbly Connect identify new records.

• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.
• Pabbly Connect will fetch the latest record from your table.

After successfully fetching the record, you can see the image URL and file name in the response. This confirms that your table is correctly integrated with Pabbly Connect.

4. Uploading Assets to Canva Using Pabbly Connect

Now that your table is connected, it’s time to upload the image to Canva. In the action window of your workflow, select ‘Canva’ as the app and set the action event to ‘Upload Asset’. using Pabbly Connect

Connect your Canva account with Pabbly Connect by entering the Client ID and Client Secret obtained from the Canva Developer Portal. Once connected, you will need to map the file name and image URL from the previous trigger step to upload the asset correctly.

Map the file name to the corresponding field in Canva. Map the image URL to ensure the correct image is uploaded.

After mapping, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a positive response indicating the image has been uploaded successfully. This confirms that the integration between Pabbly Connect and Canva is functioning as intended.

5. Updating the Table with Design ID

Once the image is uploaded to Canva, you will want to update your table with the Design ID or Job ID returned by Canva. To do this, add another action step in your workflow and select ‘A Table’ again. using Pabbly Connect

Choose the action event ‘Update Record’ to modify the existing entry in your table. Select the same base and table as before, and use the Record ID from the trigger step to specify which entry to update.

Map the Design ID to the appropriate field in your table. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the update.

After the update, check your table to verify that the Design ID has been successfully added. This completes the automation process, allowing you to upload images to Canva seamlessly using Pabbly Connect.
