Customers who have a licensed Workato workspace can use the D2L Brightspace Connector in the Workato Community Library to build Brightspace automation and integrations more easily with low-code and no-code technologies.
Creating a connection using the D2L Brightspace Connector allows you to create recipes that can interact with your Brightspace site.
Set up D2L Brightspace Connector
To create a connection to your Brightspace site
- Open the Workato Community Library.
- Click on the D2L Brightspace App to open it.
- Provide the following information:
- Connection name – Give your connection a name that easily identifies which site it is for.
- Location – Choose a project or folder in Workato where your Brightspace connection should be placed. Your connection can be reused in projects outside of this location.
- URL of the Brightspace instance – Enter the URL for your Brightspace site, including the protocol and trailing forward slash (for example, “https://{yourdomain}.brightspace.com/” or “https://learn.{companyname}.com/”).
- OAuth2 Client Id – Enter the client ID for the OAuth 2.0 API Application. Set the Redirect URI in you Brightspace API Application to “https://www.workato.com/oauth/callback”.
- OAuth2 Client Secret – Enter the client secret for the OAuth 2.0 API Application. Set the Redirect URI in your Brightspace API Application to “https://www.workato.com/oauth/callback”.
For more information about OAuth 2.0, refer to the How to get started with OAuth 2.0 topic. - OAuth2 Scope – Ensure the scopes set in your registered Brightspace API Application match the scopes defined in your connection setup.
- The default set of scopes covers the use of all actions included in the connector.
- If you are using any custom actions, you must add additional scopes as required by those APIs.
- If you change scopes, you must disconnect and reconnect your connection for the changes to take effect.
- Click Connect.
You are redirected to your Brightspace login to authenticate your connection.
|
Tip: D2L recommends creating a “D2L Link Service User” and authenticating as this user for your connection. |
