Use of canva module "create a design" in content creation scenario

How To

I created a scenario in Make for content creation. I saw in the documentation a few weeks ago that Canva was integrated into Make. I wanted to use Canva to produce a dynamic carousel template that would accompany the post publication on LinkedIn (the top branch of my router in the scenario). I used the Canva “Create a design” module in which I should find the carousel template created in Canva, and the texts would be added automatically before being published on LinkedIn. However, I’m getting this error message: “The operation failed with an error. [404] asset_not_found Asset not found” in the Canva “Create a design” module. Basically, it can’t find the template. I took the template ID and mapped it in the “Asset ID” field, but it’s not working. Can someone help me, or if you have examples or use cases of scenarios with the Canva modules, I would appreciate it so I can see what I might be doing wrong in my scenario. Thank you in advance.

Not sure if this helps.
All of my Airtable update modules required a RecordID.

In Airtable, you have to assign in the column the type
as a formula. - RECORD_ID()

You might be doing as I did for hours, thinking I could
just search what a column of my choice. Got the fix
from Airtable support.

Perhaps somewhere in your process this might be a solution?

What you want to do requires access to brand template and autofill APIs which are only available to those on the Enterprise plan of Canva. Make currently does not have modules for those endpoints either so you need to use the “Make a API Call” module. You can follow the direction in the Canva documentation here to get started: Autofill guide - Canva Connect APIs Documentation

too bad i did not read this few days ago. I’m going crazy here why its not working. i guess it’s too good to be true for now. i still don’t see the benefits of using make.com with Canva unfortunately. the real deal is with the API which you need to pay more for it.
