Using this endpoint in a workflow

1. Add an API Call node to your workflow.
2. Pick your Canvas LMS connection from the Connection dropdown.
3. In the Operation dropdown, select education.createAssignment.

What it returns

The API Call node writes the response to the workflow context:

{
  status: 200,
  success: true,
  data: { ...response body from the API... },
  latencyMs: 142
}

Reference response fields downstream as {{nodeId.data.path}}. The exact response shape is documented on the upstream Canvas LMS API reference.
