Scope

What Lumen sees. What it can change.

Read is on by default. Every write is a separate toggle, capped per user, and logged.

Read

What Lumen reads

Lumen calls Canva's Connect API with the OAuth token you grant at install. Read scope only — Canva exposes per-design and per-folder permissions, which the integration respects.

  • Designs

    Title, owner, last edited, thumbnail URL, design URL

  • Search

    Search across designs you can see, filtered by owner / type / tag

  • Folders

    List items in a folder, traverse subfolders

  • Brand templates

    Available templates with metadata for re-use suggestions

  • Comments

    Read comments on designs where Canva exposes them via the API

Write · opt-in

What Lumen can write

Lumen does not write to Canva. Design creation and edits stay in Canva itself.

    Every call is logged with user, operation, design or folder ID, and date. Exportable as CSV.

    Install

    Connect in under a minute.

    No keys, no call, no app marketplace fine print.
