Canva, without opening Canva.
Read-only designs, folders, comment threads and brand templates.
In your channel
Ask Ray for something in Canva and it posts this card in the thread. One click, and the task you asked for carries on where it left off.
What Ray can and cannot do in Canva
Reading is free, because reading changes nothing. Everything that writes waits for you. The rest is not on Ray’s list.
Runs on its own
What Ray reads in Canva
- Access user specific brand templates list
- Fetch current user details
- Fetch design metadata and access information
- Get designs designid comments threadid
- Get design comment replies
- Get design comment reply
- List design pages with pagination
- List folder items by type with sorting
- List user designs
- Retrieve asset metadata by id
- Retrieve brand template dataset definition
- Retrieve enterprise brand template metadata
- Retrieve folder details by id
Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.
Asks first, every time

Ray posts a card showing exactly what it is about to do. Nothing happens until someone clicks approve, 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 asset by id
- Revoke oauth tokens
- Remove folder and move contents to trash
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
Approve, and it lands
Reading runs on its own. Anything that creates, sends or spends stops first and shows you the exact content.

@Ray the checkout bug is back. Take a look in Canva, and tell Dana it is being looked at.

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, draft the change, and post it for approval before anything is written.
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.
- Writes are gated in the execution path, not by a prompt. There is no setting that grants blanket approval.
- 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.
More design & whiteboards integrations
Ray uses them together in a single run when a request spans more than one.

Free to start, no credit card, and it asks before it acts.
