Unfortunately, I do not have the answers you are looking for. However, I am very interested in this topic. We are just in the process of setting up Salesforce and I would very much like to know how to connect it to Catalog ad see what capabilities this will give us. As you pointed out, there is very little documentation for this so far. Please post what you find and keep in touch. Thanks.

Can there be a simple "Gift This Course" label and feature, along with a short video tutorial on how to use the Gift This Course…
Requirements for Nudging
I decided to try out Nudging. I have a test course in Canvas with 2 assignments (one quiz, one file submission). No modules. Removed course dates and deleted any existing sections. Created a listing for it with 14 days to completes and then enrolled with my gmail address. Had our director of ID do the same. Created a nudge…
