Canva uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (SHA-256). Truto handles the full auth flow — token exchange, storage, and refresh — so your team never manages credentials directly. ### Which Canva data can I access through Truto today? Truto maps Canva to the Unified User Directory API, giving you access to Users and Roles resources. This covers reading, creating, updating, and deactivating user accounts and their role assignments within a Canva organization. ### Does Truto support additional Canva APIs like Design, Export, or Autofill? Not out of the box. Truto's current Canva coverage focuses on the Unified User Directory API. Additional tools and API mappings (e.g., Design, Asset, Autofill) are built on request — reach out to the Truto team to scope your specific use case. ### Is this integration limited to Canva Enterprise accounts? User directory and provisioning capabilities via SCIM are generally available on Canva's Enterprise tier. Your end users will need a Canva Enterprise organization to leverage automated user provisioning and role management through Truto. ### How does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for Canva? Truto abstracts away Canva's API-specific pagination and rate-limiting behavior. Your application makes standard Unified API calls, and Truto manages cursor-based pagination, retries, and backoff logic behind the scenes. ### Can I use proxy calls for Canva endpoints not yet covered by a Unified API? Yes. Truto supports proxy mode, which lets you make direct API calls to any Canva Connect API endpoint through Truto's auth layer, even if a unified model doesn't exist for that resource yet.
