I think the outline at Create was probably pretty close. You have an idea for something you don't have the skills/time to make yourself. You get canva code to create a prototype. You then add it to your pitch deck. Then you can convey to other people what you are trying to do by actually showing them something pretty close. It can be really powerful for people to be able to see the thing in the world, even if it's not perfect. Or if it's something pretty simple you can just add it to a design as is. Like for a classroom activity to do with ecosystems you could get it to generate a quiz on animal adaptations and just add it to the presentation. Kind of like generative art. I feel it gets really close but needs some tweaking. It's still powerful to be able to get really close rather than not get anywhere at all. It's the old 80 20 rule. The first 80% is pretty easy and takes 20% of the time or effort. But it takes 80% of the time to get the remaining 18%. Canva code can get you that first bit of the way. But forget the last bit. You will probably need someone else to be able to get you there. Answer from extrajoss on reddit.com

Canva code is OP
I wrestled with this for a while: apparently you can only use Canva-generated code in Canva. I don’t understand how that’s possible. More on reddit.com

I used it to create a dashboard for my upcoming canva automation tool, but to be honest it’s not great other than prototyping for prototype. It generates the code in HTML and CSS which is nice but isn’t very efficient as when it gets past 500+ lines of code, it will struggle. The generation at best takes around couple of minutes if you want to build a one fully fledged web page. Although I expect them to upgrade their speeds at least, it’s a novel tool at best.
