Canvas and Harvest integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Canvas and Harvest and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Utility, and Productivity workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Canvas and Harvest

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Harvest and Canvas nodes (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find the Harvest node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. To add the Canvas app to the workflow select the HTTP Request node and use the generic authentication method to make custom API calls to Canvas. Configure Canvas and Harvest one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Harvest and Canvas

A connection establishes a link between Harvest and Canvas (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Harvest and Canvas integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Harvest and Canvas with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Canvas and Harvest workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Canvas to Harvest or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
