GivePulse Integration LTI 1.3 in Brightspace

LTI 1.3 (Learning Tools Interoperability) integration in Brightspace can provide educators and learners with a seamless experience when accessing external tools and applications. We will guide you through the step-by-step process, starting from the LTI configuration screen to the finalizing of the connection in the GivePulse settings. By following these instructions, you'll be able to successfully leverage the power of LTI 1.3 within Brightspace and enhance your teaching and learning environment.

Step One: Whitelist Your LMS Instance

Email support@givepulse.com to request that your LMS Instance URL be whitelisted before proceeding. Failing to do so may result in errors when integrating Brightspace with GivePulse.
