Approved Canva design → archive to Dropbox
When a design is approved, Carly exports it, files it in the right Dropbox folder, and logs the asset in a tracking sheet.
The workflow at a glance
How this workflow works, step by step
- 1 Trigger Design approved
The workflow starts when Canva signals "design approved". Carly is listening continuously, so the run begins within seconds of the event.
- 2 LLM Name + tag asset
An LLM step does the thinking: name + tag asset. Carly picks the right model for the job and you can swap models per step if you need to.
- 3 Action Save to folder
Finally Carly takes action in dropbox: save to folder. This is the thing that actually moves the world.
- 4 Action Log row
Finally Carly takes action in Google Sheets: log row. This is the thing that actually moves the world.
When to use this template
- You want this work to happen consistently without anyone remembering to do it.
- You're already using Canva and dropbox, and the manual version of this is eating real minutes a week.
- You want a visible canvas you can audit and edit — not a black-box agent doing things you can't see.
When not to use it
- This task only happens once or twice a month — the setup cost won't pay back.
- The decision in the middle of the flow needs human judgment every single time, not just on edge cases.
- Your stack doesn't include any of the apps above and you don't want to wire a generic HTTP step.

Can I edit this template after Carly builds it?

Does this workflow cost anything to run?
