Canva Integration for CampaignSwift

Yes, CampaignSwift integrates with Canva. The Canva integration lets you browse your Canva designs (thumbnails, names, last-modified dates) and import them straight into posts and the media library, skipping the export-download-reupload routine. The connection uses Canva's OAuth flow with read-only scopes, so CampaignSwift can see your designs but never change them. Below is what it does, how to connect it, and the details that matter.

What the Canva Integration Does

Canva is where most agency social graphics get made; the gap is everything after "the design is done." Without an integration, a designer exports the file, drops it in a shared folder or chat, and a scheduler re-uploads it into the social tool: three handoffs for every graphic, multiplied across every client and every post. The Canva integration replaces that chain with a picker inside the post composer.

Open the picker and your Canva design library is right there: thumbnail previews, design names, last-modified dates, name search, and paging for large libraries. Select a design and it imports into the post as a PNG image. Designs can flow into the media library as well, where folders, search, and storage quotas keep multi-client asset collections organized.

The trust model is strict. Authorization uses Canva's OAuth 2.0 flow with PKCE, the token exchange happens on CampaignSwift's backend, and every requested scope is read-only: design content and metadata, assets, and brand templates. Your Canva account can't be modified from CampaignSwift, and an expired connection prompts a reconnect instead of failing quietly.

How to Connect Canva to CampaignSwift

1. 1

   Open the media options in the post composer

   When you're building a post, open the media options and choose Canva as the source for your visual.

2. 2

   Click connect to Canva

   A Canva authorization window opens in a popup. You sign in on Canva's own page, so CampaignSwift never sees or stores your Canva password.

3. 3

   Approve read-only access

   The connection requests read access to your designs, assets, and brand templates. CampaignSwift cannot edit or delete anything in your Canva account.

4. 4

   Browse or search your designs

   Your Canva designs appear with thumbnail previews, names, and last-modified dates. Search by name, or load more to page through a large design library.

5. 5

   Select a design to import

   Pick a design and it's imported into your post as an image, with no exporting from Canva, downloading, and re-uploading by hand.

Scope and Good-to-Knows

This is an import integration, not a design editor: you make and edit graphics in Canva, and CampaignSwift pulls the finished result into your publishing workflow. Designs import as images, so platform-specific cropping and captioning still happen in the post composer, where each platform's requirements are enforced.

Imported designs that you keep in the media library count toward your plan's storage (2 GB on Starter up to 200 GB on Scale). A naming convention in Canva (client, campaign, date) pays off here, because the picker's name search is the fastest path back to any design.
