Hi, I'm wondering if now that this is in place if you'll consider expanding it to letting the usr know when the calendar syncs (its once a day but with no indication when during the day)? In the same vein, it would be great to know when New Analytics syncs.

@jlubkinchavez, are you asking about when external calendar applications sync the Canvas Calendar feed? (e.g. Google Calendar, Outlook, etc. pulling calendar info from Canvas?) If so, that is actually up to the external calendar application, not Canvas. Some calendars allow the users to choose the sync interval, and some do not so you'll need to see what your calendar provider supports.

@dlyons Ah, I was under the impression that it was pushing from Canvas to Google, not pulling from Google. Got it. Good to know!
