In this guide, we'll learn how to connect different applications to streamline your workflow. We will cover how to download your brand guide for printing or saving to cloud storage, and how to link services like Google Drive, Notion, Motion, and Zoom for easier access and sharing.

You'll also see how to manage permissions and toggle connections as needed.

Let's get started

This is for connecting connectors. I've always had to download my brand guide, and there are two things. Not only can you now PRINT AT HOME from your own computer!!!! BUT you can now connect other tools to your Canva Account to make it more powerful when using Canva Ai.

Step #1: Click the project you want to print — Click the **project** you want to print

We can now...

Step #2: Click on "↑ Share" — Click on "**↑ Share**"

Here’s how to download this so you can print it at home or add it to your Drive or Motion.

Step #3: Click "See all" — Click "**See all**"

Now you can use my printer and print directly from here.

Step #4: Click "Use my printer" — Click "**Use my printer**"

It will need to prepare it as it does with anything else. Then, look at that. You could print this so that you have it for reference if needed.

Now when you are ready to connect your third party tools to your Canva Account to use with Canva Ai, you will go to the end of Canva AI panel and click the plus button, you can go to Connect Apps. Here, you will see all the available apps you can connect with.

Step #5: Click on "Canva Ai" — Click on "**Canva Ai**"

Step #7: Click "Connect apps" — Click "**Connect apps**"

I use Notion frequently. I also use Google Drive, so I could connect my Google Drive.

Step #8: Click on "Connect" next to Google Drive — Click on "**Connect**" next to Google Drive

As with anything else, you will need to give it permission to proceed.

Step #9: Click on "Connect" — Click on "**Connect**"

Once permission is granted, it will be available.

Step #10: Choose which Google Account you want to give Drive access from. — Choose which Google Account you want to give Drive access from.

Step #11: Click "Continue" — Click "Continue"

You can toggle it on or off. I also want to add it to my Notion.

Step #12: Click on "Connect" next to Notion — Click on "Connect" next to Notion

This may take a little time, but it works. Make sure you are in the correct Notion workspace and have granted the necessary permissions.

Step #13: Click on "Continue" — Click on "**Continue**"

Now I have Notion here. I find it interesting that you can connect this to Zoom. I will do that because if you already have Zoom AI in your account, it could be powerful for pulling in Zoom meeting summaries.

Step #14: Click on "Connect" next to Zoom — Click on "Connect" next to Zoom

Step #15: Connect to your Zoom however you wish. I sign-in using my Google. — Connect to your Zoom however you wish. I sign-in using my Google.

Step #16: Finish signing into your Zoom — Finish signing into your Zoom

Step #17: Click the Box to allow the app to share access — **Click the Box** to allow the app to share access

It is providing what it has been permitted to do.

Step #18: Click on "Allow" — Click on "**Allow**"

I will hold off for now, but I definitely see potential in Gmail and Google Calendar. For now, we'll stick with that. And there you have it. Connect and have fun! To help you continue to the next phase here are some prompts to help get you to start. Put on your possibility scarf on!

CANVA AI CONNECTOR PROMPTS For Wellness Entrepreneurs — Written by Anacani Walters

GOOGLE DRIVE CONNECTOR

Prompt 1 — Pull in your existing content

"I've connected my Google Drive. In my Drive there is a folder called [FOLDER NAME]. Pull the content from that document and help me turn it into a Canva social media graphic that matches my brand colors: [YOUR COLORS]."

Prompt 2 — Brand guide reference

"My brand guide is saved in Google Drive. Use it as a reference and help me design an Instagram carousel about [YOUR TOPIC] that stays on brand."

Prompt 3 — Client resource creation

"I have a Google Doc called [DOCUMENT NAME] with my [yoga sequence / wellness protocol / coaching framework]. Turn the key points into a one-page printable PDF my clients can take home."

NOTION CONNECTOR

Prompt 4 — Content to graphic

"I've connected Notion. I have a page called [PAGE NAME] with my content ideas for this month. Pull three of those ideas and create Instagram post drafts for each one."

ZOOM CONNECTOR

"I just finished a Zoom session with a client. Use the meeting summary from Zoom and pull the three biggest insights. Turn them into an Instagram carousel I can post today."

Prompt 8 — Workshop to resource

EXTRA...

Here is the thing nobody tells you about Canva AI 2.0.

The magic is not in the design.

It is in the connection.

When you link your Google Drive or Notion to Canva AI, you stop starting from scratch. You start from what you already built. Your content. Your frameworks. Your client work.

That is not a shortcut. That is strategy.

Cheering you on so HARD!
