Canva Integration

Overview

The Canva integration allows you to effortlessly import designs you’ve created in Canva into your workspace's File Manager to use within your Beefree emails and pages. This integration streamlines your workflows, eliminating the need to download visuals manually from Canva and re-upload them into Beefree.

As this integration is currently in Beta, we welcome any feedback to enhance your experience.

Connecting your Canva Account

To use the Canva integration:

1. Open the Beefree builder, or go directly to your workspace’s Library, under the Media category
2. Select the Canva BETA button to begin the connection process.
3. Log in to your Canva account and grant Beefree access permissions.

Please note the following: The Canva login is workspace-specific. If multiple Canva teams exist on your account, select the team you wish to connect during setup.

Adding Canva Visuals to your Beefree Design

From the Beefree Builder

1. From your Beefree design, select the image, icon, or row background image you want to edit or replace. For this example, we’ll add a Canva design to an Image content block.
2. Click on Choose Image (or Change Image if an image is already present) to open the File Manager. Click the Canva BETA button to open a list of your Canva designs.
3. Choose your preferred design by clicking the Insert button.
4. Once selected, you’ll be taken to a final window to confirm your Import settings. If your Canva design has multiple pages, choose the specific page you want to import and the file format before clicking Confirm.
5. Your Canva design will be automatically inserted into Beefree, as well as stored in the Canva folder in the Media Library for future use. Happy designing!

From the Media Library

1. Navigate to the Media category of the Library, and select the Canva BETA button.'
2. A new window will appear with a list of your assets from Canva. Click the Insert button to choose the design you’d like to import into Beefree.
3. Once selected, you’ll be taken to a final window to confirm your Import settings. If your Canva design has multiple pages, choose the specific page you want to import and the file format before clicking Confirm.
4. Tada! You should see your Canva design successfully imported into your Beefree Media Library, located within the Canva folder.

Supported and Unsupported Canva Formats

Due to compatibility considerations, some Canva formats can’t be imported into Beefree. Here is a list of supported and unsupported formats for reference:

Troubleshooting

Beefree may display an error if:

• The image is too large: Images larger than 20 MB can’t be imported. Reduce the file size and try once more.
• Connectivity Issues: If you’re experiencing import errors due to network connectivity issues, please try importing again after the connection has been restored.
• General upload failure: Refresh your browser and attempt the import once more.

Additional Considerations

• Currently, bulk importing from Canva isn’t supported. You will need to import designs individually.
• Changes made to designs in Canva usually appear in the list of visuals available in Beefree within a few seconds. Please note that previously imported visuals in Beefree designs do not update automatically.
• Your Canva folders will not be imported. All imported visuals will go directly to the Canva folder in the file manager.
• The Canva folder in your file manager will populate automatically upon first import.
