The Canva Extension (QuickConnect) by Aprimo connects enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) to the Canva design environment. It allows creative teams to browse, search, and import brand-approved content from a central repository into Canva projects. By connecting these platforms, organizations can streamline creative production and support the use of current compliant assets in design workflows.
What it Does
The Canva Extension (QuickConnect) links Aprimo DAM with the Canva design environment. Designers can access approved brand assets in parallel to working in Canva, reducing the need to manually download assets from the DAM and re-upload them. This supports faster creative production and helps teams work with current approved content.
How It Works
The extension functions through a QuickConnect window that acts as a portal to Aprimo DAM. A designer launches the extension, authenticates with Aprimo, and browses or searches for approved assets. Once an asset is selected, options for copying the public CDN URL or HTML code are available, along with options for modifying the format and adding campaign parameters. The selected link can then be pasted into the Canva design workspace, creating a direct connection with the DAM-managed content.
