What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-save finalized Canva designs to organized Google Drive folders by project

When a design is published or shared in Canva, automatically export it to the correct Google Drive folder based on project name, campaign, or team. Redbird maps design metadata to your folder taxonomy, maintaining consistent file naming and organization without manual downloads.

Archive all brand asset versions with timestamp and designer metadata

Capture every published version of your brand assets from Canva to a Google Drive archive with automatic versioning. Redbird extracts designer, publish date, and design type to create a searchable history of all creative iterations.

Sync social media graphics to campaign-specific Drive folders for client approval

When social graphics are created in Canva, automatically route them to client-specific Google Drive folders with proper naming conventions. Redbird identifies campaign tags and content type to organize deliverables for external sharing and approval workflows.

Generate monthly design asset reports by exporting Canva activity to Drive

Compile all designs created, published, or modified in Canva during a period into a structured report saved to Google Drive. Redbird aggregates design metadata, team usage, and asset types into shareable documentation for stakeholder reviews.

Alert design team when new brand templates are added to shared Drive

Monitor specific Google Drive folders for new template files and trigger notifications or import workflows in Canva. Redbird watches for file additions that match your template naming conventions and routes them to the appropriate team channels.

Batch export presentation decks from Canva to Drive with client naming structure

When pitch decks or presentations reach final approval status in Canva, automatically export them to Google Drive with client-specific file names and folder locations. Redbird applies your naming templates and routes files based on presentation metadata or tags.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Canva and Google Drive with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands Canva's design metadata, export formats, and team structures alongside Google Drive's folder hierarchies, permissions, and file organization patterns.

AI that maps design assets to your cloud workspace structure

Redbird reads design properties from Canva—project names, tags, dimensions, file types, collaborators, publish status—and intelligently routes exports to the right Google Drive locations. Our AI learns your folder taxonomy, naming conventions, and team permissions to automate file organization without rigid templates. We handle format conversions, version control, and metadata preservation so your asset library stays structured as your design volume scales.
