Create a folder in Canva when a specific task is added in Asana

■Overview

Want to connect task management in Asana with creative production in Canva, but find manually creating folders time-consuming? Opening Canva and creating a folder for every task to manage deliverables can take time away from your core work.
With this workflow, whenever a specific task is added in Asana, it automatically connects to Canva and creates a folder. This eliminates manual work and streamlines project management.

■Recommended for

• Marketing professionals who use Asana and Canva to manage tasks and creative assets together
• Designers who receive design requests in Asana and manually create work folders in Canva
• Teams looking to streamline the connection between Asana and Canva for project management

■Benefits of using this template

• A Canva folder is automatically created whenever you add a task to Asana, saving the time previously spent on manual folder creation.
• Prevent human errors such as naming mistakes and missed folder creation that can occur when creating folders manually.

■Workflow

1. First, connect Asana and Canva with Yoom.
2. Next, select Asana as the trigger and set the action to “When a new task is added to a specific project.”
3. Then, add a branch operation and configure it to split the workflow based on specific conditions.
4. Finally, set Canva’s “Create a folder” action as an operation to create a folder based on the task information.

※“Trigger”: An action that starts the workflow. “Operation”: An action that performs processing within the workflow after the trigger starts.

■Customization options

• With the branch feature, you can set any conditions, such as specific task names or assignees, to control when folders are created.
• You can freely configure the Canva folder name by inserting variables such as the Asana task name or combining them with fixed values such as the project name.

■Notes

• Connect both Asana and Canva with Yoom.
• You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Note that the shortest available trigger interval varies by plan.
• Branching is an operation available on the Mini plan and above. On the Free plan, configured workflow operations will result in an error.
• Paid plans, such as the Mini plan, include a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use apps and features (operations) that are otherwise subject to plan restrictions.
