Match your Canva layer IDs in the Create Variant node (e.g. `text`, `image`).\n- Add more layer overrides in the \"Create Variant\" node\n- Add downstream nodes to save images, send them via email, post to social media, etc.\n\n### Resources\n- [Layerre Documentation](https://layerre.com/docs)\n- [Layerre n8n Node Documentation](https://github.com/layerre/n8n-nodes-layerre)\n- [n8n Documentation](https://docs.n8n.io)"

About this workflow
How it works • Reads rows from a Google Sheet (e.g. Text + Image URL columns). • Uses Layerre to create personalized image variants from a Canva-based template. • Each row in the sheet becomes one rendered image, and the workflow outputs the final image URLs.
