How this workflow works, step by step

  1. 1 Trigger Row added

    The workflow starts when Google Sheets signals "row added". Carly is listening continuously, so the run begins within seconds of the event.

  2. 2 Foreach Each variant

    Carly loops over a list — each variant — and runs the next steps once per item. Works for leads, attendees, rows, files, anything iterable.

  3. 3 Action Generate

    Finally Carly takes action in Canva: generate. This is the thing that actually moves the world.

  4. 4 Action Save asset

    Finally Carly takes action in Google Drive: save asset. 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 Google Sheets and Canva, 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?
