Canva Connect: Open for Inspection Templates & Automation Settings

Using Canva Connect Template for Open for Inspection Video

If you're using a template you have created in Canva for an OFI video, it's important to understand the current limitations:

✅ What Is Supported: Single Listing Video

• You can create per-listing story content, where each listing generates a separate post or story.

• You can display multiple inspection times per listing using the Inspection Time Multiple function in your automation setup.

❌ What Isn't Supported: Multiple Listing Video

• No scene repetition is possible. You cannot dynamically create or duplicate a scene for each listing.

• Per-listing customisation is not supported within a single video. The number of scenes is fixed.

• Listing scenes/pages cannot repeat based on how many listings are included.
