Canva Integration: Requirements and Implementation Guide
Integrating Canva with K4Community offers an easy way for staff to create, customize, and distribute beautiful and informative designs to residents.
Key Benefits

Implementation
You can download and start using the K4Community Canva app without any input or assistance from K4. Here's how:
-
Open Canva: Log in to your Canva account.
-
Search for our App: Go to the left-side menu, click on “Apps,” and search for “K4Community.”
-
Start a Design: Select the app and choose “Use in new design.” For Digital Signage or K4TV content, use the “Presentation 16:9” format.
-
Connect to K4Community: Using your TeamHub credentials, click "Connect" and log in to activate the integration.
-
Design Content: Use Canva’s tools and templates to create your document. Insert widgets and customize visuals as needed.
-
Publish: Once finished, click “Publish.” You can either:
-
Export to the TeamHub Content Library for later publishing. This option doesn't not allow the widget to automatically update. Exporting a PDF of the content freezes the content in place on the disign.
-
Publish directly to digital signage. This option allows widgets to automatically update on whatever screen they're published to.
