      • Select Message Type: LtiDeepLinkingRequest
      • Text: StoryBox Hub
  12. Then click Save.

Add your LMS through the StoryBox Admin Settings

  1. Log in to your StoryBox Account Settings as the Account Holder. NOTE: it might be best to complete the StoryBox Admin set up in a different browser instance to avoid session conflict with Canvas.
  2. Scroll down to Other Account Actions on the right hand side and click Learning Management System (LMS) setup. (If you don't see this option it means your current subscription does not include our LTI integration. Please contact our sales team for package options.)
  3. Update these settings:
    • Platform ID: This is the domain you use to access Canvas. It will look something like this: https://canvas.yourdomain.com
    • Client ID: From step 5 in the Canvas steps above
    • Deployment ID: from step 9 in the Canvas steps above
    • Authentication request URL/endpoint: https://[canvas.yourdomain.com]/api/lti/authorize_redirect (replace the domain in the square brackets with your Canvas domain)
    • Access Token URL/endpoint: https://[canvas.yourdomain.com]/login/oauth2/token (replace the domain in the square brackets with your Canvas domain)
    • Public Keyset URL/endpoint: https://[canvas.yourdomain.com]/api/lti/security/jwks (replace the domain in the square brackets with your Canvas domain)
  4. Click Update to save.
