Instructure Canvas LMS
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect Instructure Canvas LMS to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Enter your Canvas domain, account ID, and an access token to pull course, enrollment, assignment, and submission data into the PostHog Data warehouse.
Generate a token from Account → Settings → Approved Integrations → New access token in Canvas. Use an admin account so the token can list every course in your account.
Find your account ID in the URL when you view Admin → [your account] → Settings — it's the number after /accounts/ (for example, 1 in https://yourschool.instructure.com/accounts/1).
