Canva design imports

Current canva design imports facts for Slash Social.

Canva design imports bring approved Canva creative into Slash Social. You connect your Canva account, export designs into your brand asset library, and attach them to drafts before scheduling.

What it includes

  • OAuth connection to list and export designs you can publish
  • Export to PNG or JPG, store in your brand asset library, and attach to posts
  • Link-only references when export is not yet available (scheduling stays blocked until media is exported)
  • Metadata preserved: design title, dimensions, and source link
  • Unfurl actions on shared Canva design links in Slack: Attach to Post and Import to Asset Library when link sharing is enabled in your workspace

Slash Social remains the system of record for publishing and analytics. Canva is the design source, not the publishing destination.

How to use it

  1. Open App Home, go to Settings, then Integrations, and choose Connect Canva to authorize your Canva account.
  2. In Create and media flows, import from Canva when you attach media to a draft.
  3. When someone shares a Canva design link in Slack, use the unfurl actions to attach the design to a post or import it to the asset library.

Admins, creators, and approvers can use this feature from the Create work center. Import surfaces include create modals and channel posts when you attach media to a draft.

If export is not yet available for a design, Slash Social keeps a link-only reference. Scheduling stays blocked until the file is exported and stored in your asset library.

Details

Plan access: Included on Free, Starter, Team, and Scale. Canva usage has no separate monthly quota; exported files count toward normal asset storage limits. See Plan comparison and Usage limits.

Lifecycle: This capability is in beta and may change.

Scope: Canva imports are brand-scoped. Designs you export land in the active brand asset library and attach to posts for that brand.
