Seamless Integration Architecture

n8n's Canvas integration works through HTTP Request nodes that connect directly to Canvas APIs. The workflow process is straightforward:

1. Authentication: Connect securely to Canvas using your credentials via various authentication methods
2. Data Flow: Set up workflows to push/pull data between Canvas and other systems
3. Automation Logic: Apply conditions, transformations, and timing to your data operations
4. Extensions: Enhance capabilities with 400+ other integrations including AI tools

For example, you can automatically create new courses when records are added to your SIS, sync attendance data to external analytics platforms, or generate custom reports when grades are updated—all running on schedules or triggers you define.
