Google Classroom

Actions

Generic API request. Call any Google Classroom API endpoint on this connection, for the case where no shipped action covers it yet. The connection supplies the base URL, the authentication and the egress route, so only the path, query and body are yours to fill.

  • Accept invitationDestructiveAccept a course invitation on behalf of the connected user, which enrols them as a student or teacher and removes the invitation.
