The connection

How does Horizon actually get into Canvas LMS?

Horizon connects through Canvas LMS's official API. Your team approves which records Horizon can use and what it may prepare before the build starts.

What Horizon can see

Courses, sections, enrolments, assignments, submissions, grades, pages and supported learning records.

02 · Prepare

What Horizon can prepare

Horizon shows your team supported enrolments, assignments and course updates for educator review before saving.

03 · Start

How work can start

Canvas can report selected course and learner activity, but Horizon rechecks the current record before preparing any action.

What we confirmed about the Canvas LMS connection

  • Canvas already includes native IgniteAI features, so Horizon is not positioned as the only way to ask Canvas questions or automate course work.
  • Horizon adds value when Canvas must work through Teams or Copilot with other systems, schedules, approvals and governance.
  • Live Events can be delayed or missed, so every consequential workflow checks the current Canvas record before presenting an action.

Day to day

Use Canvas LMS without jumping between systems.

Canvas LMS stays in place as the software your team already uses. Your team asks in Teams, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT, and Horizon answers with only the approved records that request needs.

We connect one workflow first, prove it with your team on real review steps, then expand.

Common questions

Using Horizon with Canvas LMS, answered.

What could our team ask Horizon to do with Canvas LMS?
Give teaching and administration teams a joined view of approved Canvas records and the other systems around them. Typical results include an overdue-assignment worklist, a cross-section progress brief, and an update and announcement ready to approve.
Can our team use Canvas LMS from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved Canvas LMS information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use Canvas LMS with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around Canvas LMS and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in Canvas LMS, not just answer questions?
Yes, where Canvas LMS supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in Canvas LMS?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, which students have overdue assignments in this course and what is still missing? The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
Canvas access follows the authorised user or institution account. We agree the courses, roles and permitted actions before connecting.
Does Horizon replace Canvas LMS?
No. Canvas LMS remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the Canvas LMS workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
The audit costs nothing
