canvases.create method
Usage info​
This method is used to create a new standalone canvas owned by the acting user.
The canvas will be created untitled and empty if none of the optional parameters are specified.
The canvas may be created with a title. The canvas may also be created with some initial document_content. The canvas's ID is returned in the response from the create call.
A canvas can be automatically added to a channel tab with write permissions by setting the channel_id parameter.
