With the Canva skill GENI finds your designs, auto-fills brand templates and exports the result, without you opening the editor.
Coming soon. The skill is built but waiting on approval from Canva's Developer API programme. Once it lands it appears in your marketplace; there is nothing to prepare.
Available from Starter.
What can GENI do with Canva?
- Search your existing designs by name or type
- List your brand templates
- Create a blank design in a given format
- Auto-fill a brand template with text and images
- Export a design as PNG, PDF or MP4
That fourth one is where the gain is: one template plus varying text produces a series of visuals that all look the same.
Example: what you ask, what you get
Make four promo posts from our offer template, for these four products
Four designs created from Template: Summer offer 2026:
Design Product Price shown Offer , heat pump Heat pump 8kW €8,450 Offer , air conditioning Split unit €1,295 Offer , maintenance Maintenance contract €240/year Offer , solar boiler Solar boiler €3,100 Cost: 4 × 75 = 300 credits. All four are in your Canva account, ready to export or adjust further.

Limits
- GENI does not design. It fills your templates; the design itself you make in Canva.
- Existing designs are not edited, only new ones created or templates filled.
- Brand templates may require a paid Canva plan.
- Designs are never deleted.
- Exporting a heavy design takes longer; GENI waits and reports back once the file is ready.
Troubleshooting
Canva is not in your marketplace. The connection has not been released yet; see the notice at the top of this page.
There are no brand templates. Those sit in Canva's paid plans. Without templates you can still create and export blank designs.
An export seems to hang. Canva processes in the background; a heavy design takes longer.
The filled text overflows the frame. The template sets the space. Shorten the text or adjust the template in Canva.
Frequently asked questions
When will the connection be available? That depends on Canva's approval. Once it is through it appears by itself.
What is the difference with AI image generation? Image generation creates a new picture from a description. Canva works with your own templates and brand style. See AI image generation.
Can it lay out a whole campaign? It can fill a series of designs from one template. The design of that template you make yourself.
Can I schedule this? Yes, once the connection is live, for example a monthly series of posts from your current offers.
