**With password configured (showing MFA option):**

## Step 1: Create Canva Developer Account & Integration

1. Visit [https://developer.canva.com/](https://developer.canva.com/) and sign in with your Canva credentials
2. Navigate to **"Your integrations"** page
3. Click **"Create an integration"** and fill out the form:
   * **Integration type**: Choose between "Public" (available to all users after review) or "Private" (team only)
   * **Integration name**: Choose a descriptive name
   * Accept Canva's Developer Terms

## Step 2: Configure Integration Settings

1. Under **"Configuration"** → **"Configure your integration"**, set the following:
   * **Integration name**: Add your application name
   * **Client ID**: Make note of this value for later use
   * **Generate secret**: Click to generate and securely save your Client Secret

![Integration Configuration Settings](https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/canva_oauth_app/step2_config.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2\&q=85\&s=6b9cfe893ed821411e7b3aa79436e5aa)

## Step 3: Set Required Scopes

> [!NOTE]
>
> Klavis Canva MCP Server uses the following OAuth scopes: `app:read app:write asset:read asset:write brandtemplate:content:read brandtemplate:meta:read comment:read comment:write design:content:read design:content:write design:meta:read design:permission:read design:permission:write folder:read folder:write folder:permission:read folder:permission:write profile:read`

1. Under **"Scopes"** → **"Set the scopes"**, configure the required permissions as shown in the screenshot below:

## Step 4: Configure Authentication & Redirect URLs

1. Under **"Authentication"** → **"Add Authentication"**, add redirect URL:
   * `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/canva/callback`

![Authentication and Redirect URL Configuration](https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/canva_oauth_app/step4_redirect_url.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2\&q=85\&s=a11a1059f7b72a1c72293a113a5a45e5)

## Step 5: Submit for Review (Public Integrations Only)

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you created a "Private" integration, you can skip this step. Private integrations are immediately available to your team.

For public integrations:

1. Complete all required configuration sections
2. Click **"Submit for Review"**
3. Wait for Canva's approval process

![Submit Integration for Review](https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/2FN45VVIW760Qvl2/images/knowledge-base/canva_oauth_app/step5_submit_for_review.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=2FN45VVIW760Qvl2\&q=85\&s=b0b5fe98a84acffef977e34a8d300c86)

## Step 6: Integration Review Status

Once submitted, your integration will show "In Review" status. You'll receive email notifications about the review progress, and you will be asked to complete a questionnaire in the Jira ticket from the email.

> [!TIP]
>
> You have successfully created a Canva OAuth application! You now have your Client ID and Client Secret ready for integration with Klavis AI.

## (Optional) Step 7: White Labeling

> [!NOTE]
>
> White labeling allows you to customize the OAuth experience with your own branding instead of Klavis AI's.

If you want to use your own Canva OAuth application with custom branding:

1. **Configure White Labeling**: Go to [https://www.klavis.ai/home/white-label](https://www.klavis.ai/home/white-label)
2. **Add Your Credentials**: Enter your Canva **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from Step 2
3. **Set Redirect URI**: Use `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/canva/callback` or your custom callback URL
4. **Initiate OAuth**: Use your client ID when starting the OAuth flow:

   ```javascript without SDK theme={null}
   // Example: Initiating Canva OAuth with white-label
   const authUrl = `https://api.klavis.ai/oauth/canva/authorize?instance_id=${instanceId}&client_id=${yourClientId}`;
   window.location.href = authUrl;
   ```

   ```typescript TypeScript SDK theme={null}
   import { Klavis } from "@klavis/sdk";

   const klavis = new Klavis({
     apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
   });

   // Example: Initiating Canva OAuth with white-label
   const oauthUrl = await klavis.mcpServer.getOAuthUrl({
     serverName: Klavis.McpServerName.Canva,
     instanceId: instanceId,
     clientId: yourClientId,
     // redirectUri: YOUR_REDIRECT_URI,
     // scope: "YOUR_SCOPES", 
   });

   window.location.href = oauthUrl;
   ```

   ```python Python SDK theme={null}
   import webbrowser
   from klavis import Klavis
   from klavis.types import McpServerName

   klavis = Klavis(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

   # Example: Initiating Canva OAuth with white-label
   oauth_url = klavis.mcp_server.get_oauth_url(
       server_name=McpServerName.CANVA,
       instance_id=instance_id,
       client_id=your_client_id,
       # redirect_uri="YOUR_REDIRECT_URI",
       # scope="YOUR_SCOPES"
   )

   # Open OAuth URL in user's default browser
   webbrowser.open(oauth_url)
   ```
