How to unzip the Canva export?

[EuroCrafted]

Hi there,

I am trying to export my Canva designs to upload them to my Google Drive.
The problem I am encountering is that the data (usually a zip file) exported from Canva is not recognised by the archive module.

Do you have any advice?

Looks like you are exporting as PNG, so it’s not an archive file that you can unzip.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hi @samliew

Thanks for helping.

Actually, this setting is for the format of the Canva pages you want to export. There is no ZIP choice
.

In my case, I want to export several pages at once, as the module allows.

However, I have not found any information on how to convert the data output from the module into the images I need.

Are also trying to export, both PNG och MP4.
If you do it through Canva you get a link to download the file. And it is the link I need in my scenario.

"urls": [

  "https://export-download.canva.com/..."

First you create export job, then a second command to get export jobb. But to do that you need exportID, which you don´t get through Make.

How to work with Export design in Make? How and where to get the file or link?

@EuroCrafted I’m not 100% certain (checking at the moment) but I think that when you download designs with Export as a single image as No, then each image will be in a separate bundle.

If that’s the case, everything in the path after the Export a Design module will run for each bundle.

So all you’d need is the following:

@CharlieNerdica in Make, the polling for Canva job completion is done for you.

So you don’t need to do a second command to get the export job. You just get the exported file data in a mappable object called Data (as in the previous message).

Hi @DavidGurr_Make,

Thanks for your help. Indeed, the output of “Export a design” is a single image (the first of the batch I want to download). The question is, how to get all the images?

[DavidGurr_Make]

Could you post a screenshot of your scenario, as well as screenshots of the parameters for each module?

Hi.

Here is the blueprint.

And there’s definitely multiple images in that Design?

[EuroCrafted]

Yes. More than 100.

[DavidGurr_Make]

Thanks. It’s looking like there’s a bug in the Canva app relating to multiple images … we’re investigating

Hi @DavidGurr_Make ! Is there any update on fixing that bug?

[DavidGurr_Make]

It’s in progress at the moment but I don’t have a definitive fix date for it I’m afraid. It could be a couple of weeks, or (if something else takes priority) over a month.

In the meantime, the best solution would be to use the Make an API Call module and interact with the Canva Connect API directly - though that’s obviously a little more complex solution.

Hi @EuroCrafted, @Mezar

I’m happy to announce that we’ve just updated the Canva Export a Design module so that multiple files are now delivered as multiple output bundles from the module.

Please try it out and let us know how it works for you!
