Embed a Canva integration in your product
Add Canva to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Canva integration so your customers can work their own designs, folders, and brand templates from inside your product and export finished files where your app needs them. Access runs through each customer's own Canva grant, so their existing permissions apply and your product cannot read a design the connected account could not open. fastn handles per-customer OAuth and API upkeep, so supporting another Canva account is configuration rather than a release.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, customized per customer, maintained by fastn.

Why teams use the Canva integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Canva integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Canva account inside your product and work their files, documents and versions there, and nothing lands on your team.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: permissions and versioning are easy to get subtly wrong, and mistakes expose content. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Canva update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Canva integration powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you let your product work with your customers' documents in place without wiring it twice.

Canva integration FAQ
How do I add a Canva integration to my product?
Enable the Canva connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Canva account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Canva client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Canva account?
Yes. Every integration is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Canva account and only ever sees their own files, documents and versions. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Canva integration?
Yes. The same integration is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent finds the right brand template before assembling a piece of collateral. A prompt that works on day one: "Find designs in the campaign folder updated this week and export each as a PDF."
Who maintains the Canva integration?
fastn does. When Canva changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' integrations keep working.
Whose permissions does the Canva integration run under?
Each customer's own Canva grant. Where Canva holds a library, their existing folder and item permissions apply and your product cannot reach content the connected account could not reach itself. Where it processes content you supply rather than storing it, the call runs under that customer's own credentials and is logged per tenant.
Can my product create or update content in Canva automatically?
Where Canva supports writes, documents, entries and assets can be created, updated and filed from your product or by an agent within scoped permissions, with each action logged. Where it is a read surface, the same connection serves reads only.
What can I build with the Canva integration?
A common starting point: browse their own Canva designs and folders from inside your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Canva integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on customer connections, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Canva does not change your cost. You can start free with 3 customer connections.
