Frequently asked questions

  • Common examples include building an app inside the Canva editor that allows agents to pull in listing details, images, or market insights directly from your MLS or internal systems.

    When integrating Canva into your own platform or system, you can autofill templates with property information, share approved brand assets or templates with your teams, or automate repetitive tasks like generating regional variations or weekly reports.

  • It depends on your team's technical comfort. Many organizations start with a low or no-code automation tool like Zapier, Workato, N8N, or our Make.com modules(opens in a new tab or window), which embed your existing systems into Canva with minimal setup using the Connect APIs.

    If you want a hands-on preview inside the Canva editor, you can clone the MLS reference app or use the real estate app template from the Canva CLI. These come with a working UI, mock data, and clear TODOs for wiring in your backend, so you can get a proof of concept running in a few minutes.

  • Canva already provides strong brand consistency guardrails through Brand Kits, locked Brand Templates, approved fonts, and organization-level permissions. Any app you build will automatically inherit these controls.

  • Yes, a common approach is to use the Canva Connect APIs' Autofill capabilities to generate on-brand designs automatically. For example, Canva for Salesforce(opens in a new tab or window) leverages Autofill to pull in CRM data and create fully branded assets in a single click. Apply the same pattern to real estate workflows by populating designs with agent details, property information, or regional variations without extra steps and manual editing.
