Canva Resource

The Canva resource allows you to easily integrate your Canva projects directly into Pharmadigital.
You can upload a project as a static image or link it via Smart URL, so that any changes are automatically updated on the player.

How to Add a Canva Resource​

  1. Go to the Resources section of the dashboard.
  2. From the menu, select Canva.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. Paste the Canva project URL in the designated field.

How to Import a Canva Project​

You have two options to import your projects:

1. Export as Image​

  • Open the project on Canva.
  • Click Share → Download.
  • Select the desired image format (e.g., PNG or JPG).
  • Upload the resulting image as a resource in the dashboard.

This method ensures the content is updated automatically when you modify the project on Canva.

To obtain the Smart URL:

  1. Create and save your project on Canva.
  2. Click the Share button in the top right corner.
  3. Select Embed.
    • If not visible, go to More → Embed.
  4. Copy the Smart Embed Link.
  5. Paste this link into the Canva URL field in the dashboard.

Usage Tips​

  • The Smart URL ensures real-time updates without manually re-uploading files.
  • Make sure the Canva project sharing settings are correct so the player can access the content.
  • Very complex projects or with animations may take longer to load.

How to Import Canva Presentations​

Canva presentations do not advance automatically inside Pharmadigital. For this reason, if you want to display a specific slide, you need to use a URL that points directly to the desired page.

How it works​

Start from the public link of the presentation, for example:
https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view

To open a specific slide, add the ?# parameter followed by the page number:
https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view?#2

In this example, slide 2 will open directly.

Important note​

When the resource is saved, Pharmadigital automatically adds the embed=true parameter to the URL to optimize its display.

For example, if you enter: https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view#2

Pharmadigital will save it as: https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view?embed=true#2

Example​

First slide: https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view#1

Second slide: https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view#2

Third slide: https://www.canva.com/design/XXXXXXXXXXX/view#3

After saving, if you edit the resource again in Pharmadigital, you may see the embed=true parameter already present in the URL. This is normal: it is added automatically by Pharmadigital and should not be entered manually when copying the link from Canva.
