What is Canva Connect API autofill?
Canva Connect API autofill programmatically fills brand template fields (text and images) and exports designs. It is part of the official Canva Connect platform and requires Canva Enterprise.
Autofill is Canva’s official way to generate designs from brand templates via API.
How it works (conceptually):
- Designers publish a brand template with autofillable fields
- Your app submits field values through the Connect Autofill API
- Canva processes the job asynchronously
- You poll/export the finished design
Requirements:
- Canva Enterprise
- Brand templates configured for autofill
- OAuth/app setup per Canva’s developer docs
Common confusion:
People searching "Canva Connect API autofill official docs" often want automation on Pro/Teams. Official autofill is not available there. For non-Enterprise automation, import Canva designs into Layerre and generate with a synchronous API or no-code tools.
