FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Post channel alerts for newly created courses” between Vanilla and Skilljar?

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

Yes, enrolling in a course in Skilljar can automatically invite the student to the corresponding class discussion channel in Vanilla.

When a student finishes a course in Skilljar, a direct message or channel alert can be sent immediately in Vanilla.
