If you are using an SIS_ID, and since they are unique, it makes more sense for the middleware to target a user, not search for one: /api/v1/users/sis_user_id:simon.j.taylor@gmail.com .... ... if that is an option for you. ... View more

Thanks for the reply and thatv ery reasonable guess. The test course was indeed not published but after deleting the enrollment, publishing the course and retrying the api call again, still no email. I also created a new course (different sis_id), published it, and enrolled same user in it, in case there was any kind of object conflict with the old enrollment... and still no email arrives and nothing in Spam folder ...

I am trying to get a email notification sent for an enrollment invitation and the email never gets sent. Sending a message to the same user via the ui widget works fine. Can anyone tell what I am missing? Appreciate your looking. curl https://server.edu/api/v1/courses/sis_course_id:autoenrollmenttest1/enrollments \ -X POST \ -F 'enrollment[user_id]=sis_user_id:jpg_goog' \ -F 'enrollment[type]=ObserverEnrollment' \ -F 'enrollment[enrollment_state]=invited' \ -F 'enrollment[notify]=true'  \ -H "Authorization: Bearer `cat ~/canvas/tokens/sis@canvas`" The enrollment get created: {     "associated_user_id": null,     "course_id": 133067,     "course_integration_id": null,     "course_section_id": 127851,     "created_at": "2017-01-11T00:02:23Z",     "end_at": null,     "enrollment_state": "creation_pending",     "html_url": "https://server.edu/courses/133067/users/123989",     "id": 687239,     "last_activity_at": null,     "limit_privileges_to_course_section": false,     "role": "ObserverEnrollment",     "role_id": 8,     "root_account_id": 1,     "section_integration_id": null,     "sis_account_id": null,     "sis_course_id": "autoenrollmenttest1",     "sis_import_id": null,     "sis_section_id": null,     "sis_user_id": "jpg_goog",     "start_at": null,     "total_activity_time": 0,     "type": "ObserverEnrollment",     "updated_at": "2017-01-11T00:02:23Z",     "user_id": 123989 } ...

Oh, what you see doesn't necessarily imply batchmode, it's adding the user again (as you say below) *because* it can't find them by sis_id yeah, ic now. Have you tried selecting 'Conclude this enrollment' and having imports use override_sis_stickiness=false ? I don't know yet if the status field is one of those fields that stickiness can apply to.... ... View more

I see. You must be using batchmode then as Anthony Bunag says below. ... View more

My tidbit is ... I've been using curl to call the api's when trying things out and the python json.tool module is very useful in that it formats the call results: curl -v "https://canvas.test.instructure.com/api/v1/users/self/activity_stream \ -H "Authorization: Bearer `cat sis@canvas`" | pyhton -mjson.tool If the result is json it is nice formatted: not all on one line. ...
