Combining Canva’s ability for content creators to share a design as embeddable HTML Code and Korbyt’s ability to display Embedded HTML code, it is possible to have an automated connection between content edited and stored in Cavna but displayed on Korbyt-controlled screens.
To accomplish this:
In Canva Share your design as HTML Embed Code
- Build a Canva design/template
- Select the Share button
- Select Embed
- Copy the HTML Embed code it generates
- If you are not immediately ready to paste the code into Korbyt you may want to paste into a notepad
- Canva Embed Design Help Document
In Korbyt Create a Layout and add the HTML Container
- Create a new Layout, or open an existing one for Editing
- Add the HTML Container Element
- How to Use the HTML Container Element guide
- Edit the Element through the Gear Icon
- Click the Pencil and paste your HTML Embed code from Canva
- Resize the HTML Container window as needed
- If full-screen, you can use Properties > Maximize
- Publish the Layout
- Add your new Layout to a Playlist to make it seen
Now changes made in Canva to the design will be seen when Korbyt displays the HTML embed code.
BE AWARE – This method will increase your cause an increase in data traffic compaired to storing the item direclty in Korbyt because now for the design to be seen it will have to call the HTML code when the layout is displayed compaired to showing a cached image/file
Other Options for Canva and Korbyt
Korbyt Courier for Automatic import to Korbyt
Korbyt has built-in ability to connect to common cloud storage services OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, Box, and Adobe Experience Manager
- Create a Courier in Korbyt to connect to your preferred service
- In Canva, when you complete a design save it to your preferred cloud storage service
