Patricia + Canva
What she does in Canva.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Open in Canva from her file library
Images in Patricia's file library have an Open in Canva option in the console. One click makes the file an editable design in the Canva account connected to Patricia.
Her images, ready for the last touch
Ad creative, post visuals and thumbnails she makes all land in her file library, so any of them is one click away from Canva.
Your own images too
An image you upload to the file library opens in Canva the same way, when you can edit that file.
Share the final back in Slack
When she should post or use the finished version, drop it in the Slack thread and she takes it from there.

FAQ
Canva questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do with Canva?
She makes the image and it lands in her file library. From the console, Open in Canva turns it into an editable design in the Canva account connected to Patricia, where you make the last touch. When she should post or use the finished version, drop it in the Slack thread.
Who can edit the design in Canva?
The design is made in the Canva account connected to Patricia, so the person whose Canva is connected opens and edits it there. Anyone who can edit the image in the console can send it to Canva.
Can she open a design in Canva from Slack?
Not today. Opening in Canva runs from the file library in the console, and the finished design does not come back to her by itself. Share the final image in the thread when she should use it.
Does she use brand templates or resize designs in Canva?
Not yet. Brand templates, resizing, comments and folders are not part of the Canva connection today. Sizing an ad for every placement happens in Patricia's own ad creative work instead.
What does the Canva integration cost?
Nothing extra. Connecting is included on every plan.
