Does Canvas have an SFTP site?
We are trying to integrate a new SIS and I have not gotten any response from Canvas to meet with our IT department to provide 1/4 of the way to integration.
Solved! Go to Solution.
What SIS are you trying to integrate with Canvas? This may help find other users that are using the same SIS and may be able to share insight on how their integration works.
There is more information available about several of the SIS integrations that Canvas/Instructure Support in the following article and it mentions that some may use SFTP: What student information system (SIS) integrations are available in Canvas?
Also, it would be good to follow-up with your CSM and/or Canvas Support. They will be able to assist you more directly with guidance related to the SIS integration for your instance of Canvas.

Thanks for the thoughts. I have reached out to Canvas Support and they sent a message to a CSM team, but have not heard back. Could I contact CSM directly? How would I do that?
Are you an existing Canvas/Instructure client (not free for teachers account)? If so, is there another admin at your school that is in contact with the CSM for your school?
At our school, we have a team of LMS admins that have the contact information for our CSM, but this would vary by school.
The SIS we are trying to integrate is Anthology, not on the list of Canvas SIS easier tasks.
Thank you for sharing the SIS you are trying to integrate. I haven't worked with Anthology before, but perhaps another Community member will be able to share their experience when they see this.
In the meantime, based on the reference it guide, it does recommend contacting your SIS provider for support with setting up a Canvas integration too when they aren't one of the listed SIS partners.
Hi Cindy,
I don't know if this would be an acceptable alternative for you to SFTP, but there is an API endpoint for SIS Uploads that may allow you to automate the loading of SIS data into your Canvas instance if the SFTP option from Anthology is unavailable.
