Instagram posts made to size, finished in Canva.
She drafts the caption in your client's voice and makes the image in feed and Story sizes. From her file library, it opens in Canva as an editable design for the last touch. Your team publishes, and the final image can run as a paused Meta ad.
@Pati draft Vela's Friday drop for Instagram, feed and Story. I will add the logo in Canva.
Caption drafted in Vela's voice, with the shop line pointing to the link in bio. The artwork is made in both sizes: a 4:5 feed image and a 9:16 Story, with the offer inside the safe zone.
Both are in your file library, so Open in Canva there gives you two editable designs. Drop the finals here when the logo is on.
Logo added, finals attached. Set up the feed one as a paused Meta ad too.
Both finals are saved in your files, next to the caption, ready for whoever posts on Friday. The feed image is also in a new Meta Ads campaign for Vela, approved and built paused, with a preview in the Instagram feed. By default it spends nothing until you approve the launch.

What Instagram and Canva do together.
Each is useful alone. Joined, they answer the question neither can on its own.
Turn one brief into a feed image and a Story image, then finish them in Canva
She makes the artwork at 4:5 for the feed and 9:16 for Stories, with the logo and the offer inside the safe zone. Both land in her file library, where each opens in Canva as an editable design for the last touch.
Keep the final image next to the caption, ready to post
When the edit is done, drop the finished image in the thread and she files it next to the caption, so whoever posts has the final image and the final copy in one place.
Write the caption and hashtags in the client's voice
She drafts the caption, the hashtags and the line that points to the link in bio, following the voice rules your team set for that client. A person on your team publishes the post on Instagram.
Run the same design as a paused Meta ad on Instagram
The final image you shared can go into a new ad through her own Meta Ads connector, built paused, with a preview in the Instagram feed. By default the launch waits for your yes, so nothing spends by surprise.
See which design earns the result once it runs as an ad
When the designs run as Meta ads, she reads results per ad and per placement, so the next brief starts from the image that actually earned clicks and purchases on Instagram, not from taste.
How it works
Instagram and Canva, connected in minutes.
Add Patricia to Slack
She joins your workspace like any teammate. Two minutes, no engineering.
Connect Canva
An admin connects Canva through Canva's own sign-in. For Instagram ads, connect Meta Ads too. The post itself needs no connection, because your team publishes it.
Ask
Mention @Pati with the brief, then open her images in Canva from the file library. By default, every change in Meta Ads waits for your yes.

FAQ
Instagram + Canva, answered.
What does using Canva and Instagram together let Patricia do?
She drafts the caption in your client's voice and makes the image in feed and Story sizes. From her file library, it opens in Canva as an editable design for the last touch, and the final goes back in the thread. Your team publishes the post, and for the paid side the final image can go into a paused Meta ad.
Does she publish to Instagram?
No. She does not post to Instagram. She prepares the caption and the final image, and a person on your team publishes it. Instagram ads are different: they run through her own Meta Ads connector, built paused.
Does she use brand templates or resize designs in Canva?
No. Brand templates and resizing are not part of the Canva connection today. She makes each size herself, and you open it in Canva from her file library for the touch-up.
Can I keep her scoped to just part of the setup?
Yes. Connect only the accounts you want her in, and the rest stays untouched. By default, every change she makes waits for your yes, and every email, post or message she drafts always does.
