# Canva Creator
## Scope
This skill handles a campaign in five sequential stages, each gated by owner
approval:
```
brief → calendar → asset inventory → Canva designs → copy → HubSpot staging
```
| Path | Channels | What this skill produces |
|------|----------|--------------------------|
| Canva (social) | Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn | Canva design + caption + scheduled HubSpot post |
| Text-only | Email (newsletter, marketing, drip) | Subject + preheader + body, surfaced inline for the owner to send |
**Canva is not used for email rows under any circumstance** — no templates,
no autofill, no design copies, no asset uploads, no exports. The owner
explicitly descoped Canva from the email path because email-template
autofill produces placeholder graphics when image slots exceed available
photos, and variation thumbnails fail to render in chat previews. If the
owner asks for a Canva email design, see `reference/gotchas.md` for the
redirect language.

## Pre-flight
Before Stage 1, confirm:
1. **Brief.** The user has referenced or pasted an approved brief. If not:
"I'll need the content brief before I can build the campaign. Do you
have one from the content-strategy skill, or would you like to write
one now?"
2. **Canva tier.** Pro/Teams require manual template selection from the
user's library (no autofill API). Enterprise can autofill from brand
templates.
3. **HubSpot tier.** Social staging requires Marketing Hub Professional.
