PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Canva with Mailchimp, be aware that there are some potential risks associated with doing so. First and foremost, it is important to understand that Canva is a third-party application. This means that it is not directly affiliated with Mailchimp, and as such, its compatibility with the latter can sometimes be unreliable. Additionally, because Canva is a cloud-based application, it is possible that your design files may not be accessible if there are any issues with your internet connection. Finally, because Canva is a subscription-based service, you will need to ensure that you have an active subscription in order to continue using it with Mailchimp.
