Canvas actions for your phone agent: courses, assignments, and messages.

Connect Canvas to AgentCalls and your agent can work with your courses during a phone call. It can look up assignments and due dates, create an assignment or calendar event, send a message to a student, and set a due date override for a student who needs more time. Your agent uses the permissions of the account you connect, so it only does what your Canvas settings allow.

Example calls

A parent asks when an assignment is due

  1. Caller

    Hi, my son Daniel says his biology lab report is due this week. Is that right?

  2. Agent

    Let me check. Daniel's lab report for Biology 201 is due Thursday, March 14 at 11:59 PM.

  3. Caller

    Thanks. Is there any extension if he's sick?

  4. Agent

    I can message his instructor on Canvas to request one. Would you like me to send that now?

A student books office hours

  1. Caller

    I'd like to meet with Professor Hughes about my essay draft.

  2. Agent

    Professor Hughes has openings on Tuesday at 2:00 PM and Wednesday at 10:30 AM. Which works better?

  3. Caller

    Tuesday at 2 is good.

  4. Agent

    Done. I've booked Tuesday at 2:00 PM for your office hours appointment and added it to your Canvas calendar.

The school adds a new assignment after a call

    Please add a reading quiz to Grade 9 History, due Friday at 9 AM, for all sections.

Does it work during the call or after it?

Both. Your agent can look up Canvas information and create or update items while the caller is on the line, and it can also send follow-up messages or create records after the call ends.

What do I need to connect Canvas?

You need an active Canvas account with the permissions you want the agent to use. Connect it from your AgentCalls dashboard by entering your Canvas credentials in the tool settings. Your agent can only act within what that account is allowed to do.
