Need to issue a lot of certificates at once? Look no further than Canva! This popular online design platform makes it easy to create and issue digital certificates.
You can create custom designs that are sure to impress. Let’s take a look at how you can use this platform to create and issue bulk certificates.
Activity Messenger also replaces your Class Management and Online Registration Software such as JackRabbit, IClassPro and DanceStudioPro.
The first step in creating your certificates is to make sure you have a great design. Canva offers a variety of certificate templates that you can customize with your own text, images, logos, and more.
You can also choose from thousands of stock images, fonts, and illustrations in their library. Once you have your design ready to go, it’s time to take the next step—issuing digital certificates in bulk.
This can be done in 3 easy steps:
Canva doesn’t offer an option to send certificates by SMS or Email. You have to use a separate tool, which makes the certificate creation process complex and time-consuming. That is, unless you work with a software that integrates with Canva, Activity Messenger.
Keep designing in Canva but streamline your certificate distribution process with personalized emails & SMS.

Certificates can serve a more strategic purpose beyond acknowledging participants’ accomplishments. By sending bulk certificates that include your logo, you improve your client’s experience – but it’s also an effective marketing tool. Kids love to show off their achievements, so chances are that proud parents will hang certificates up around their homes.
They’ll stay as visible reminders to sign up for the next session and spark conversations with friends and families about how amazing little Sophia’s music class was. This can also act as a physical reminder in the home for busy parents who might forget to re-enroll for next session.
Every time a participant finishes a class, achieves a new skill, or moves to another level, it’s also an opportunity for you to amplify your brand’s reach. Present them with a personalized certificate that they’d be proud to show off. Encourage them using a contest (win a free session if you share on social media) to share their certificates online and tag your club or studio.
This serves as a powerful testimonial and word-of-mouth marketing tool. When friends and family see this on their favorite social media platform, it plants a seed, potentially drawing in new clients.
Activity Messenger allows you to import lists of participants, families and classes from class management softwares such as IClassPro, Amilia & JackRabbit. The system automatically imports the participants name, date of birth, class name, emails, mobile phone numbers and more.
Make your certificate production process easier using Activity Messenger’s integration with Canva! No need to manually create multiple versions of certificates – all you have to do is design, personalize and send out certificates by email or SMS. You’ll be able to customize countless batches of certificates quickly with minimal effort with increased the level of individualization too.
