Canva, without opening Canva.
Designs and the comment threads on them, with a new one started from chat.
- Free to start
- No card
- Nothing irreversible without your yes
- Your own account, not a shared login
Ask in your own words.
Nothing to configure and no builder to open. Copy one of these into a thread, swap in your own Canva details, and Ray takes it from there.
@Ray start a design for the launch banner in the brand folder.
@Ray has anyone commented on the pricing one-pager?
@Ray reply on that design thread that the logo is fixed.
@Ray what brand templates do we have for social posts?
What Ray can and cannot do in Canva
Reading is free, because reading changes nothing. Everyday changes Ray just makes, and anything that can't be taken back waits for your yes. The rest is not on Ray’s list.
15 reads wired, 5 actions Ray does at once, and 3 actions that wait for your yes.
Runs on its own
What Ray reads in Canva
- Designs, their pages, and metadata
- Comment threads and replies
- Folders, assets, and brand templates
- A design exported as a file and posted in the thread
Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.
Just does it
Ray does these at once
- Comment on a design, or reply
- Rename an asset or a folder
- Export a design as a file
Anything Ray can put back comes with an Undo button on its reply. In a schedule, a watch or a chase that has read outside content with nobody present, these wait for a yes too.
Asks first, every time
Always waits for your yes
- Create a design or a folder
- Move an item to another folder
Ray posts a card showing exactly what it is about to do. Nothing happens until someone approves, and no setting turns that off.
Not on the list
Things Ray is never handed
These are left out during curation, so they are not something Ray could do and decides against. They are not in front of it at all.
- Delete an asset
- Move a folder and its contents to trash
- Import a design from a URL
Exactly what Ray will ask you to approve.
Not a category of permission. These are the Canva actions that stop in the thread with the real content before they happen.
- Move a Canva item
- Create a Canva design
- Create a Canva folder
Ray does these at once
- Export a design as a file
- Comment on a Canva design
- Reply on a Canva design
- Rename a Canva asset
- Rename a Canva folder
Everyday work. Anything Ray can put back comes with an Undo button on its reply.
Move a Canva item
Showing Item id, each carrying the exact content that will land.
How Ray works with Canva
No workflow to build, and nothing to maintain when the work changes.
- 01
Connect Canva
One click, right where you asked. Ray posts a connect card, you authorise Canva with your own account, and the work you asked for picks up where it left off.
- 02
Ask in plain words
In the conversation you were already having. Nothing to build, no trigger to map, no tab to open.
- 03
It lands, with an Undo
Reading runs on its own. Everyday changes land at once with an Undo, and anything that sends, spends or can't be taken back waits for your yes with the exact content in front of you.

@Ray the checkout bug is back. Take a look in Canva, and tell Dana it is being looked at.
Rename a Canva asset
- Done
- just now
Ray uses Canva together with the rest of your tools.
One ask can read Canva, cross-reference what is in these, and land the finished result back in the thread. Not four connectors taking turns, one teammate with one memory.
What does connecting Canva to Ray actually do?
Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect Canva and it can do the Canva part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs and make the change, asking first before anything that can’t be taken back.
It is not a workflow builder. There is no trigger to configure and no automation to repair when your process shifts. You describe the outcome in the thread and Ray picks the actions, including actions in your other connected tools when the request spans more than one.
Every person on the team connects their own Canva account, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Canva shows who actually asked.
Security and permissions
- You authorise Canva on its own login screen. Your password never passes through Ray.
- What waits for a yes is decided in the execution path, not by a prompt. No setting lets an irreversible action through without one.
- Each workspace is isolated at the database level, and that isolation is tested by trying to break it.
- Disconnect Canva in a message, or uninstall Ray and every connection it held is revoked.
Canva and Ray, answered
The questions teams ask before they connect Canva. Every answer is how this integration is built rather than a promise about it.

Ray uses them together in a single run when a request spans more than one.
