1) Use ChatGPT to emit structured JSON: {post_id,title,body,image_prompt,publish_date}. 2) Send JSON to a Zapier webhook. 3) Zapier -> Canva API: create design from image_prompt, export image, save to cloud (Drive/S3) and return a stable URL. 4) Zapier merges the image URL into the JSON and schedules via your CMS/scheduler. File transfer: prefer cloud URLs (not base64), use consistent filenames (post_{id}.jpg), include metadata/idempotency keys, and enable retries/logging.
