Track unexpected changes in design files, compare versions automatically, and alert stakeholders when AI features modify content without explicit approval.

Workflow Steps

1

Canva

Export designs to shared drive

Set up automatic exports of design files to Google Drive or Dropbox whenever designs are saved or modified in Canva.

2

Google Drive

Monitor file changes

Use Google Drive's revision history and file monitoring to track when design files are updated and maintain version control.

3

Zapier

Detect file modifications

Create a Zapier trigger that activates when files in the design folder are modified, capturing timestamps and change details.

4

CloudConvert

Convert files for comparison

Automatically convert design files to standardized formats (PNG/PDF) to enable consistent version comparison and change detection.

5

Slack

Send change alerts

Post automated messages to a dedicated Slack channel with before/after previews, change timestamps, and links to review the modifications.
