Canva

Canva is the easiest way to design polished content — posters, menu boards, promotions — and impressBox lets you bring those designs straight onto your screens, with no exporting, downloading or re-uploading by hand.

What the integration does

  • Connects your Canva account to impressBox once, via a secure Canva login (OAuth).

  • Imports any Canva design into impressBox as a content item — a static image or an animated video.

  • The imported design behaves like any other content: add it to playlists, schedule it, assign categories, and so on.

  • You can even hand a Canva design link to the AI assistant — for example "Play this Canva design on the lobby screen until the end of the month" — and it publishes for you.

When to use it

  • Menu boards & price lists — design in Canva, push to the right store screens; updates take seconds.

  • Campaign rollouts — marketing prepares a promo in Canva, you distribute it across the whole screen network from one place.

  • Reusing what you already have — keep your existing Canva brand kit and templates; there is nothing to rebuild.

How to set it up and import

The full step-by-step — authorizing Canva and pasting a design URL — is on Importing a Canva design in the Content section.

Good to know

  • Editing a design still happens in Canva. The import brings the finished design into impressBox, so you need a Canva account on the authoring side.

  • If a design has to change very often, a native impressBox template (editable by chat) can be a faster alternative — see the Templates section.
