# Canva Create

```bash
bash execute.sh --title "Open day poster" --size 1080x1350
bash execute.sh --title "Reel cover" --asset AAB…      # after canva-upload
```

## Output

```json
{"success":true,"design":{"id":"DAF…","title":"Open day poster","editUrl":"https://www.canva.com/…"}}
```

The Connect API does not fill designs with text or generate video: create
the design, upload the assets, then hand the `editUrl` to a person (or
export an existing finished design with `canva-export`). Brand templates
need Canva Enterprise and are not wired.

## Failures

`{"success":false,"reason":"not_connected","hint":"<connect URL>"}` (exit 1)
when the owner has not connected Canva (Settings → Integrations).
