What you can do with Canva
Ask in plain language and Xenition calls the right one:

Returns one page of template metadata, including IDs and titles. Follow the response's continuation token to retrieve additional pages. Dataset definitions are available from CANVA_RETRIEVE_BRAND_TEMPLATE_DATASET_DEFINITION.
- Create Asset Upload Job — Uploads an asset file to the user's Canva content library. This endpoint initiates an asynchronous upload job for images or videos. 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
- Create Canva Design Export Job (Deprecated) — DEPRECATED: Use CANVA_POST_EXPORTS instead. Exports a Canva design to various file formats. This endpoint initiates an asynchronous export job for designs. Supports image formats (PNG, JPG, GIF), documents (PDF, PPTX), and video (MP4). Each format has specific configuration options like dimensions, quality, and page selection. IMPORTANT: This is an async operation. Use GET_DESIGN_EXPORT_JOB_RESULT
- Create canva design with optional asset (Deprecated) — DEPRECATED: Use CANVA_POST_DESIGNS instead. Creates a new Canva design with specified dimensions or from an asset. This endpoint creates a design using either a preset type (doc, email, presentation, whiteboard), custom dimensions, or by importing an image asset. Returns the design ID, URLs for editing and viewing, owner info, and metadata. The design can be immediately accessed and edited.
- Create comment reply in design (Deprecated) — DEPRECATED: Use CANVA_POST_DESIGNS_DESIGNID_COMMENTS_THREADID_REPLIES instead.

Users should note potential unannounced changes, and that preview APIs are not eligible for public integrations.

Creates a new comment thread on a Canva design using Canva's deprecated Create comment API. This preview API allows adding text comments to designs for collaboration and feedback.

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 'succe

- Delete asset by id — You can delete an asset by specifying its `assetId`. This operation mirrors the behavior in the Canva UI. Deleting an item moves it to the trash. Deleting an asset doesn't remove it from designs that already use it.
- Exchange oauth 2 0 access or refresh token — The OAuth 2.0 endpoint issues time-limited (4-hour) access tokens of up to 4KB for user authorization via codes or refresh tokens. It requires client ID/secret for authentication.
- 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_

- List folder items by type with sorting — Lists folder items, including folders, designs, image assets, and brand templates. Brand templates are returned only when explicitly requested in `item_types` and the user's plan supports them. Video assets are currently not returned.
- List User Designs — Provides a summary of Canva user designs, includes search filtering, and allows showing both self-created and shared designs with sorting options.
- Move item to specified folder — Transfers an item to a different folder by specifying both the destination folder's ID and the item's ID. If the item is in various folders, an error occurs; manual relocation via Canva UI is required.
