# Ray and Canva

> Designs and the comment threads on them, with a new one started from chat.

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. 13 reads run without asking. 7 actions wait for a human approval.

## What Ray reads in Canva

Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.

- Designs, their pages, and metadata
- Comment threads and replies
- Folders, assets, and brand templates

## What waits for your approval

Every one of these posts an approval card in the thread showing exactly what is about to happen. Nothing runs until someone clicks approve, and no setting turns that off.

- Create a design
- Create a folder
- Comment on a design, or reply
- Rename an asset or a folder
- Move an item

## 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
- Export a design, or import one from a URL

## Ask it like this

- "@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?"

## Connecting Canva

Every person on the team connects their own Canva account on Canva's own login screen, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in Canva shows who actually asked. Passwords never pass through Ray. Disconnecting Canva or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
