How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect Canva

    Open Connections, find Canva and press Connect. You sign in on Canva's own page; there's nothing to configure.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Canva with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Canva job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Canva, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.

Questions

Canva and Cicada, answered.

Does Cicada integrate with Canva?

Yes. Canva is one of the 888 apps with a page here, and it connects with one click. Once it's connected, every agent in your workspace can use it from any channel you talk to them on.

How do I connect Canva?

Open Connections, find Canva and press Connect. You sign in on Canva's own page; there's nothing to configure.

What can Cicada do in Canva?

32 actions: 20 that read from Canva and 12 that change things in it, for example list user designs, retrieveuserprofiledata, fetch current user details. It picks the right ones for what you ask and chains them with your other apps.

Can I stop Cicada changing things in Canva?

Yes. In Connections, set Canva to Read-only and no agent in your workspace can create, change or delete anything in it; it can still read. Ask first lets it act but makes it check with you before each change.

Can I ask about Canva from my phone?

Yes. Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, or message it in Slack or the app. It answers in the same thread, and it can run Canva jobs on a schedule, like every morning at 8.

Is my Canva data safe?

Your Canva login or key is stored on the server and never appears in a conversation. Disconnecting removes it. Every action an agent takes is in your activity log, and your data isn't used to train models.

One teammate. The output of a team.
