What Well does with your Canva connection
Connect
Connect Canva over OAuth (MCP DCR): Well registers a client through Canva's OAuth Dynamic Client Registration and you approve on Canva's side, so the password never reaches Well; Well holds only a scoped token it can refresh.
Sync
Well brings design, brand kit, and collaborator in from Canva on live events backed by periodic reconciliation reads. The first sync backfills history in the background and the connection stays live after.
Enrich
Well resolves each Canva entity into indexed asset, workspace context, and team member, assigns categories, and links every record to an audit trail across the rest of your connected tools.
Available
Your data from Canva lands in the workspace as indexed asset, workspace context, and team member you can search, chart, and automate.
Questions Canva unlocks
Ask in plain language. Well answers from your connected Canva connection, resolved against the rest of your stack.

Connect Canva in three steps
- 01
Authorise Canva via MCP
From Well's Connections panel, search for Canva and click Connect. Well discovers Canva's MCP OAuth metadata from its .well-known endpoint, registers a client via Dynamic Client Registration, and routes you through the authorize prompt on Canva's side. No client credentials to paste.

Map your entities
Well's MCP client discovers design, brand kit, and collaborator from Canva that Canva's MCP server exposes and brings them into your workspace using the canonical mappings defined in Well's data-views layer. You can inspect the workspace data model from Settings > Data Model.

Use the data
Ask questions in conversation, build records tables, or let agents act on Canva records. Because Canva ships through MCP, Well treats every entity it exposes as queryable graph state alongside the rest of your connected tools.
- First syncstarts as soon as connect completes
MCP handshake typically completes under a minute on warm connections. Resource enumeration runs immediately after; full backfill of historical Canva records happens in the background.
How Canva stays secure with Well
Well connects to Canva's MCP server (mcp.canva.com/mcp) via the Model Context Protocol. The MCP server itself handles credential issuance through OAuth Dynamic Client Registration; Well never sees a long-lived Canva secret. Tokens are scoped to the design, brand kit, and collaborator Canva exposes and refreshed server-side. Reads only, Well cannot modify or delete Canva records.
- granted
Read Canva records
Resources the Canva MCP server exposes, scoped by your OAuth approval.
- granted
Resolve design, brand kit, and collaborator across your stack
Match identifiers in Canva against the same entities your other connected tools expose, so each record carries cross-tool context.
- refused
Modify or delete Canva records
Not granted; Canva is read-only in Well. Write-back is opt-in per connector when a write surface exists.
- refused
Store Canva passwords or session cookies
Authentication runs through OAuth (MCP DCR) tokens we never see.
Frequently asked questions about Canva and Well
From Well, open Connections, find Canva, and click Connect. Well discovers the OAuth metadata at mcp.canva.com/mcp/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, registers a client on the fly via Dynamic Client Registration, and walks you through the authorize prompt on Canva's side. No client_id or client_secret to paste; the handshake takes roughly a minute.
Well brings in design, brand kit, and collaborator from Canva and reshapes each entity into your workspace: design becomes indexed asset; brand kit becomes workspace context. Every record arrives with the source identifier preserved, so Canva stays the source of truth while Well lets you query the data alongside the rest of your stack.
When a Canva file moves from design-ready to dev-ready, Well links the hand-off to the engineering issue, project, or PR it triggered. The designer's workspace page shows what shipped from their work; the engineering issue shows the design intent linked. The hand-off stops being a forwarded URL.
Every workspace indexed asset built from Canva carries the source design identifier plus a deep link back to the original record. From a workspace page, one click takes you to the Canva record; from Canva, the workspace identifier travels back so you can search either direction. The link survives every subsequent enrichment Well runs.
Well combines live Canva events with periodic reconciliation reads of design, brand kit, and collaborator. New rows appear within seconds when Canva pushes them; periodic reads catch anything a push missed. The first connect backfills history from Canva in the background.
Open Connections > Canva in Well and click Disconnect. Well calls Canva's token revocation endpoint and stops calling Canva immediately on its side; provider-side propagation to Canva's admin panel varies by provider. The design, brand kit, and collaborator Well already synced stay in your workspace by default; ask Support to purge them if your compliance flow requires it.
Canva records are stored in the region Well operates for your workspace. Specific region details and the steps to change region are available from Support. See /privacy for the current data-handling policy.
