If I have an external LTI/API based tool is it possible to have it informed when a course containing it is copied? There doesn't currently seem to be a webhook endpoint that does this on:
Webhooks Subscriptions - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
Hi Matthew --
I think you're correct that there's currently no way for your tool to be informed in real-time when it's been copied into a new course, but there are some LTI Variable Substitutions that you can use to be able to tell when you're receiving an LTI launch into a copied tool.
Take a look at this page in the API docs: <!-- - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation</A>
Specifically, search for "Canvas.course.previousContextIds" and "Canvas.course.previousCourseIds". In theory, you should be able to use those variables to copy local data from a previous context into the current context/course.
Hope this helps!
