WARNING: Brand templates were migrated to use a new ID format in September 2025. If your integration stores brand template IDs, you'll need to migrate to use the new IDs. Old brand template IDs will continue to be accepted for 6 months to give you time to migrate to the new IDs.

<Availability> To use this API, your integration must act on behalf of a user who is a member of a [Canva Enterprise](https://www.canva.com/enterprise/) organization.

Users on Canva paid plans have access to a limited trial while your integration is under development. For more information, see Trial quotas. </Availability>

Starts a new asynchronous job to autofill a new Canva design using input data. Use the type field to choose the source of the design:

• create_from_brand_template: autofill a new design from a brand template. If type isn't specified in the request, the request type is assumed to be create_from_brand_template. To get a list of input data fields for a brand template, use the Get brand template dataset API.

• create_from_design: autofill a new design from an existing design that contains autofill data fields. To get the input data fields for an existing design, use the Get design dataset API.

  WARNING: Creating an autofilled design from an existing design is a preview feature. There might be unannounced breaking changes to this feature which won't produce a new API version.

Data fields in brand templates or designs might change (for example, they might be renamed or removed). If you provide data for a field name that doesn't exist, it's silently skipped. Use the Get dataset APIs to confirm the current fields before creating an autofill job.

Available data field types to autofill include:

• Images (which you can autofill with an image or a video asset)
• Text
• Charts
• Sheets

WARNING: Chart and sheet data fields and autofilling a video are preview features. There might be unannounced breaking changes to these features which won't produce a new API version.

NOTE: For more information on the workflow for using asynchronous jobs, see API requests and responses. You can check the status and get the results of autofill jobs created with this API using the Get design autofill job API.
