What can your agent do in Canva when something happens in Google Docs?
Any of Canva's 22 actions, including Create Canva Design With Optional Asset, Create Design Comment In Preview Api, Create User Or Sub Folder and Update Asset S Name And Tags By Id. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
What happens when something fails?

Is there a free plan?
