Need help with "Send a message to unsubmitted or submitted users for the quiz" API call

[tarkesh_d_patel]

Hi All,

I am having great difficulty getting the following API to work:

Quiz Submission User List - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation 

I realize it is still in beta but it would be nice to either get confirmation it is working or not. If it is working can someone perhaps help me out by posting a CURL example of how this command should work?

I have used the CANVAS API successfully for many things in the past but for this command I am stuck at getting a 500 Internal Server Error.

thank you in advance.

Tar

P.S. alternatively an example in POSTMAN would work too.

Hello Tar,

You can use the POST call: POST {{canvas_domain}}/api/v1/courses/:course_id/quizzes/:id/submission_users/message

And the body (json): 

{
    "conversations":
    {
         "body": "Hi, You haven't taken this quiz yet, can you do so before...",
         "recipients" : "unsubmitted",
         "subject" : "Quiz reminder"
         }
}

This will result in the following response (see attachment)

Hope this helps future strugglers!
