Canva Reels Creator AI Toolkit (Make.com)
The Canva Reels Creator AI Toolkit is a fully automated system that turns your Google Sheets content into beautifully exported Canva Reels — and publishes them directly to YouTube or Instagram on autopilot.
This workflow eliminates every manual step in the Reels creation process, giving you a hands-free engine for producing motivational, educational, or quote-based Reels at scale.
If you create content daily or run theme pages, faceless brands, agency accounts, or client social media — this automation becomes your full video production pipeline.
⭐ WHAT THIS AUTOMATION DOES (Full Breakdown)
1. Reads the Next “To-Do” Reel From Google Sheets Automatically
The workflow begins by filtering your Google Sheet to find the first row marked as “todo”.
From that row, it automatically extracts:
-
The quote to display
-
The author
-
The caption
-
The video title
-
Additional fields (A → CZ columns available)
This allows you to prepare content in bulk, then let the automation produce Reels one by one.
2. Auto-Generates a Reel Using a Pre-Designed Canva Template
The system connects to Canva and exports the specific design you selected:
-
Design ID: DAGU4xM80PA
-
Export format: MP4
-
Aspect ratio: Vertical 1080p
-
Pages selected dynamically
Whatever content was populated inside your Canva design (quote placeholders, animations, branding) is automatically rendered into a full-quality Reel.
This gives you a professional studio-quality video without ever opening Canva.
3. Updates Google Sheets (Status: “done”)
Once a video is successfully exported, the workflow automatically updates the row in Google Sheets:
-
Status changes from "todo" → "done"
This becomes your production tracker — no missed content, no confusion, no manual marking.
4. Smart Router: Auto-Publish the Reel to YouTube or Instagram
The automation includes a router with two publishing paths:
Option A — Publish to YouTube Automatically
The workflow uploads the freshly generated MP4 file to your YouTube channel with:
-
Title: pulled from Google Sheets
-
Description: your preset caption
-
Category: Education
-
Privacy: Public
-
Metadata configured cleanly
This is perfect for:
-
Faceless YouTube Shorts channels
-
Stoic quote channels
-
Motivational pages
-
Theme pages
Option B — Publish to Instagram Reels Automatically
The automation uploads the same video to Instagram via the Instagram Business API:
-
Reel URL: generated from Canva export
-
Caption: from Google Sheets
-
Optional share-to-feed toggle
This allows you to run a fully automated IG Reels machine.
🎬 WHAT THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM CREATES FOR YOU
From just a single row in Google Sheets, the system produces:
✔ A full high-quality Canva Reel
✔ Auto-rendered MP4 file
✔ Optional YouTube upload
✔ Optional Instagram upload
✔ Auto-sorted content pipeline (“todo” → “done”)
✔ Batch processing of unlimited content ideas
✔ A scalable automation you can multiply
This takes your Reels production time from 45 minutes per video → 0 minutes.
