What Is the Canva Integration in Media Storage?

GoHighLevel added a direct integration with Canva inside the Media Storage area of the platform.

This means designers, agency teams and creators can:

• Browse existing Canva designs from inside GoHighLevel
• Edit selected designs in Canva with one click
• Download and import the updated assets into Media Storage
• Use those assets in funnels, emails, websites and campaigns

No more manual file downloads and re-uploads between tools.

Why This Matters for Agencies and Creators

Before this update, users had to:

• Open Canva in a separate tab
• Export designs manually
• Download designs to local storage
• Upload them again to GHL Media Storage

Now you can:

• Keep all creative assets in one place
• Make real-time edits without leaving the platform
• Reduce duplicate files
• Speed up creative workflows

That streamlines asset management and reduces time wasted on repetitive export/import steps.

How the Integration Works

Per Sub-Account (Location)

• Connect one Canva account per location
• All users within that location can view, search, download or import assets
• Proxy or “Login As” users cannot access the connected Canva unless invited directly to the sub-account
