Hiya, With the Canvas/Teams integration setup you end up with Teams created that have a reference back to the Canvas course that they belong to. You can lookup details of a Team using the Microsoft Graph API: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer When doing this you can query a Team/Group using and ID…
My company runs a self-hosted Canvas server. The person who administered this system left the company 9-10 months ago. The individual she gave an admin account to apparently has never signed in. Trying the "Don't know your password" function generates no email message for either the user who left the company or this new…
We are looking into adding Microsoft Teams classes to our environment. By default and not configurable this adds itself to EVERY singe course in Canvas. I believe I can use XML to make this disabled in each course menu navigation which would them require teachers to enable it if they wanted to use it. I found this XML tool…
Hi all, I'm prototyping an integration which messages students who haven't logged into Canvas for over a month. I was planning on using the "?include=last_login" parameter on the /api/v1/users/ endpoint and using that as the basis of the reminder. Just curious if anybody knows what generates this value?

Hello, We are looking for a way to enroll trust users via the API, using their sis_user_id (instead of Canvas user ID). https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Admin-Blog/Trust-Account-User-Roles-and-Expectations/ba-p/246763 On the page above it states: "Trusts do not provide any automation for trust enrollments.

This has been frustrating. I've tried URLs of the form: https://canvas.nd.edu/courses/33333/file_content/Public/11111 and https://canvas.nd.edu/api/v1/courses/33333/files/11111 (which I could've sworn worked last week), but I can not find the URL construct (it's not the same as the 2017 post here I found) that works. Any…
Hello All, I am new to Canvas as well as the API world. We are trying to use Canvas API to get the data transferred from Canvas to our product and the plan is to have nightly process. Now to limit the amount of data and improve performance, the thought is to get only the changes that have occurred in canvas since the last…

I can write a query that returns all the enrollments in a known course (see below), but how would you write something that only returned enrollments whose status was "invited"? It should be possible, but I'm banging my head against a brick wall on this. query MyQuery { course(id: "179404") { enrollmentsConnection { nodes {…
We have been using environment variables for our LTI tools for years. Recently, around the beginning of November, the environment variables stopped working, so after the weekly refresh, the tools on beta are pointing to production. Since we haven't updated the xml on production for these tools, it doesn't make sense that…
