How to install Kami's automatic Canvas integration

Instructions for installing the Kami Canvas integration and tips to avoid known issues.

Who can do this?

πŸ‘€ The Kami integration can be installed by Canvas users with Admin privileges.

πŸ‘€ Requires a Kami paid plan.


If you do not have admin privileges in Canvas, you will not be able to complete the steps below. Please follow the steps outlined in this article instead.

If you are a Canvas admin for your school or district, installing Kami's Canvas integration is now even easier to set up and maintain. Integrations created through this method also benefit from automatic updates.

If you are a Teacher, please follow the link below to the manual integration installation guide instead.
​

✏️ If you've installed Kami's Canvas integration, using this new integration is still preferred as it keeps your Kami LTI integration up to date. It'll also automatically remove any duplicate installations and provide recommendations to your Canvas setup if we detect any bad configurations.

All it takes is two simple steps:

1. Inherited Developer Keys

In your Canvas deployment, go to Admin > Developer keys > Inherited


Once under the Inherited section, find Kami and click ON to turn on the Kami developer key.
​


If Kami doesn't appear in that list, scroll to the bottom and click the Show all keys button.

This should extend the list and make Kami searchable within it.

2. Complete the Automatic Setup

Navigate to the Canvas section of the customer panel through this link and follow the steps outlined below:

Once you reach the customer panel, select Automatic Setup and enter the subdomain name for your school or district's Canvas deployment. Then, press Enter or click Canvas Log In.

When directed to the Canvas authorization page, press Authorize.

πŸ“– Alternatively, the manual installation option is still available if the automatic installation method does not suit your needs.
