Digital Asset Management

The Canva integration for Aprimo, powered by CI HUB, provides a direct link between your digital asset management system and the popular design platform. This integration enables users to search, filter, and drag-and-drop approved brand assets from Aprimo directly into the Canva workspace. By centralizing asset access, organizations accelerate content production while ensuring that only compliant, on-brand materials are used in creative projects.

What it Does

The Canva connector, powered by CI HUB, streamlines the design process by connecting Aprimo Digital Asset Management (DAM) directly to the Canva interface. This integration eliminates the need for manual downloads and uploads, allowing designers to access, search, and place approved brand assets into their Canva projects instantly. By bridging the gap between managed brand content and creative execution, the integration ensures brand consistency and accelerates the production of marketing materials.

How It Works

Users initiate the integration by opening the CI HUB extension within the Canva design workspace and authenticating their Aprimo DAM account. Once connected, the interface displays the Aprimo asset hierarchy, allowing users to perform searches or browse folders. When an asset is selected, the integration retrieves available metadata and renditions from Aprimo; the user then chooses the desired resolution and drags the file onto the Canva canvas, creating a direct link from the DAM to the design.
