Instructions for installing Kami's Canvas integration and some tips to avoid known issues.

Updated over 3 months ago

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

If you are a Teacher please follow the link below to a different article to guide you, as this article is only for Admins

✏️ 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 show up in that list scroll down to the very bottom and click the Show all keys button.

This should extend the list and make Kami searchable in the list

2. Complete the Automatic Setup


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

Once you get to the customer panel, find Automatic Setup, enter the subdomain name of your school or district's Canvas deployment, then press Enter or click Canvas Log In. When directed to the Canvas authorization page, press Authorise – and you're all set!

📖 Alternatively, the manual installation option is still available if the automatic installation does not suit your needs. See here for instructions on manual installation of the integration: http://help.kamiapp.com/en/articles/3153114-installing-kami-s-paid-canvas-lti-integration-manually
