Layerre node for n8n

Create templates and variants from Canva designs with Layerre

The Layerre community node for n8n lets you create templates from Canva designs and generate variants with layer overrides, all inside your n8n workflows. Install via npm or add the node directly in the n8n.cloud editor. Connect with your Layerre API key to automate design generation at scale.

What is n8n?

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform. You design workflows in a visual editor, connect apps and APIs, and run automations on a schedule or via webhooks. The Layerre node brings Canva-based template and variant creation into that workflow with no code required.

n8n x Layerre

The Layerre node is an action-based node: it has no dedicated triggers. You trigger it from other nodes, for example:

On a Schedule: run at regular intervals
On a Webhook call: run when another app sends a request

It exposes 8 actions, grouped into template and variant operations:

Template actions

• Create a template (from a Canva design URL)
• Delete a template
• Get a template
• Get many templates

Variant actions

• Create a variant (with layer overrides)
• Delete a variant
• Get a variant
• Get many variants

For variants you can override text, images, colors, positions, and more per layer. Templates are loaded dynamically from your Layerre account so you can pick a template and layers in the node UI.

Credentials

Use a Layerre API key with the node:

Log in to your Layerre account and go to API Keys
Create a new API key and copy it (keys start with lyr_)
In n8n: Credentials, Add Credential, search for “Layerre API” then paste the key
