Questions
OpenAI and Canva, answered
What can start an automation from OpenAI?
Any of OpenAI's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New batch, New file, New model and New vector store. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Canva when something happens in OpenAI?
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.
Can it also run from Canva to OpenAI?
Canva has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in OpenAI. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Canva's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for OpenAI or Canva?
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?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
