How to Import Canva Templates Directly into Templated for Automation

Imagine you’ve found the perfect template, but it’s on Canva. Now you want to use it, change its layers, and automate it.

Well, the good news is that you can now import any template in Canva ( with all the layers). You just have to build a public link in Canva and share it with Templated. Here is the quick video walkthrough.

Once imported, you can easily edit the layers in the editor and use them for automation. Using automation, you can save plenty of time and create several templates from automation.

Let's get to understand step by step how it works.

Step 1: How To Import Your Canva Template To Templated for Automation

At first, you have to choose a template from Canva that you want to automate. It could be anything, such as a social post, a marketing banner, certificate generation, or any template.

You can also create a template from scratch. Once the design is ready, you can easily export it from Canva.

Note: Make sure that only the page containing your template is open in Canva. Do not keep multiple pages open in the design file.

Step 2: Sign up & Import Canva Design into Templated

Now, you have to sign up for a Templated account, and after that, go to Create Template. Now, click on the ‘Import from Canva’ option, and upload the file you just exported from Canva. You don't have to do anything manually; it’s all quick, simple, and saves a lot of time. That’s the biggest advantage of this feature.

Step 4: How To Use It in Your Automation

After importing, click on “Open in Editor.” You’ll see that all the images, text, and elements from your template are shown in separate layers. So, you’re not just reusing a design, you’re transforming it into a living, automation-ready template.

Once your template is ready, connect it with automation tools like Make, Zapier, or n8n. After that, you can link your spreadsheet data to the layers you want to change and automatically generate numerous versions of your template in just a few clicks.

Conclusion

This update connects Canva’s creative design space with Templated’s automation workflow.

You can design according to your work and instantly use that same layout in Templated for automated content creation.

It’s simple, flexible, and made for creators who want to save time while keeping their designs consistent and professional.
