Total noob here and I’ve been working on this automation for days now and I’m so close, but I can’t get one part to work.
Here’s what I’m trying to do:
- I have a Google Form that asks for a name and surname, email address, heading, body text, and a call to action.
- The Zap is connected to Canva, where I have a pre-created template.
- When someone fills out the form, Zapier should take those form responses, duplicate my Canva template, update the text on it with the submitted details, export the finished design, and email it out automatically.
Everything in the Zap works perfectly, the form triggers correctly, Canva duplicates the template, it exports, and the email sends out, but Canva isn’t updating the text. None of the text from the Google Form (heading, body, call to action, or name/surname) is being populated on the template before it exports.
I’ve tried adjusting the fields and mapping everything, but Canva just keeps exporting the default text from the template. I feel like I’m missing a simple step but can’t figure out what it is.
Has anyone managed to get Canva to update a design’s text dynamically using Zapier? Or is there maybe a workaround I’m missing?
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Burnedine
