Canva Code

Canva Code makes interactive designs from a description, such as a calculator, quiz or simple form.

What can you make with one description?

Describe a small interaction and what someone should see after using it. For a quote calculator, specify the inputs, the price for each option and when to show the total. Preview it and use the chat to request changes.

Where do answers go if you collect them?

Supported inputs can send responses to a connected Canva Sheet. That connection sends responses in one direction. Canva says new versions can create separate Sheets, and a copy embedded in another design collects separately. Check the specific version before expecting all responses in one place.

What happens to the link when you publish another version?

Republishing from the same Canva Code chat keeps its existing web address. Using the result in a separate design creates a separate published link. Before sharing, check the intended visibility and use the viewer controls available to you.

Can you take the code out?

Canva documents a Copy code action that puts code on your clipboard where supported. Keep a separate record of the published link, response sheets and any assets or services you would need to set up again. The editor itself does not offer a direct code-file export.

How can you tell whether your account includes it?

Canva lists Canva Code among its premium AI features. Access and usage limits depend on your plan, and Canva says the allowance can depend on the complexity of the work. Check access on the account you intend to use before planning around it.

What would you check before sharing a quote calculator?

Choose two made-up quotes with totals you can work out yourself. Decide whether the calculator needs to collect anything or just show a result.

  1. Write the expected totals
    Use one basic request and one with an extra item. Show what should happen if a quantity is empty.
  2. Decide what should be kept
    For a calculator that only shows a total, leave response collection out. If you sketch a form as well, mark the sheet for its exact version.
  3. Trace the link after a revision
    Write down whether you are updating the same published page or putting the calculator in a different design.
