Canva Emails let you design your email in Canva’s visual editor and then import it into Flowforth as a ready-to-send email. Flowforth handles extracting the HTML, uploading images, and converting Canva’s template placeholders into Flowforth merge tags.

​
Creating a Canva Email

  1. Go to Emails and click New Email.
  2. Select Canva as the email type.
  3. Enter an internal name for your email and optionally choose a folder.
  4. Click Create to open the Canva design browser.
  5. Browse or search for the Canva Email template you want to use.
  6. Click the design to start the import.
Flowforth will process the design in the background. Once complete, you’ll be automatically taken to the email editor where you can review and make any final changes.
You must have a Canva account connected to create Canva emails. If you haven’t connected yet, go to Settings > Integrations > Canva to set up the connection. See Canva Integration for details.

​
What Gets Imported

When Flowforth processes your Canva Email template, it imports:
  • The full HTML layout of the email
  • All images used in the design, uploaded to your Flowforth asset library
  • Links and formatting from the original design

​
Merge Tag Conversion

Canva Email templates include placeholder links for unsubscribe, preferences, and view-in-browser. Flowforth automatically converts these to the corresponding merge tags:
Canva PlaceholderFlowforth Merge Tag
Unsubscribe link@unsubscribe
Update preferences link@manage-preferences
View in browser link@view-in-browser
This means your imported email is ready to send with working unsubscribe and preference management links.

​
Supported Design Types

Only designs created using Canva’s Email template type can be imported as Canva emails. If you select a design that is not an Email template, you’ll see an error message letting you know. Other Canva design types (social media posts, presentations, flyers, etc.) can still be used in Flowforth by importing them as images through the asset browser in the drag-and-drop editor.

​
Editing a Canva Email

Canva emails are HTML-based, so they open in the HTML editor. You can make changes to the HTML directly, use merge tags, and access your asset library, just like any other HTML email.

​
Uploading a Canva Export Manually

If you prefer, you can also export your Canva Email design as a ZIP file from Canva and upload it directly in Flowforth:
  1. In Canva, export your Email design and choose the HTML export format. This will download a ZIP file.
  2. In Flowforth, create a new HTML email.
  3. In the HTML editor toolbar, click Upload Canva ZIP.
  4. Select the ZIP file you exported from Canva.
Flowforth will extract the HTML and images, upload everything to your asset library, and populate the editor with the imported content.

Tips

  • Design in Canva, send in Flowforth. Use Canva’s visual tools to design your email, then import it into Flowforth to handle recipients, scheduling, metrics, and delivery.
  • Update your design. If you make changes to your Canva design after importing, you can create a new Canva email from the updated design.
  • Test before sending. Always send a test email after importing to make sure everything looks right across different email clients.
