The Challenge
Design studios and agencies managing work for multiple clients face a constant battle with asset organization. As projects grow and client rosters expand, so does the volume of files that need to be uploaded, tagged, and filed correctly. Doing this manually is time-consuming and inconsistent.
- Uploading large batches of client assets manually takes hours away from creative work
- Inconsistent tagging makes assets hard to search and retrieve when needed
- Nested folder structures for multiple clients become impossible to maintain by hand
- Files end up in the wrong locations or with missing metadata
- Teams waste time searching for assets that are buried or mislabeled
The Autohive Solution
The Canva integration on Autohive lets design studios automate the entire asset management pipeline. When client assets arrive, they flow automatically into a structured, tagged, and searchable Canva library—without anyone lifting a finger.
Automated Asset Ingestion
As soon as client assets arrive via your connected systems, the integration uploads them programmatically to your Canva asset library, handling images, videos, and audio files at any volume.
Intelligent Tagging by Project or Content Type
Assets are automatically tagged by project name, client, content type, or any metadata schema you define. This makes retrieval instant and search results accurate every time.
Nested Folder Structure Automation
Create and maintain deeply nested folder hierarchies—by client, project, campaign phase, or content category—automatically. Assets land exactly where they belong without manual sorting.
Ongoing Library Maintenance
Update asset names, tags, and locations as projects evolve. Move assets between folders when campaigns change, and delete outdated files to keep libraries clean and relevant.
