API endpoint to add courses to a LP

Is there an API end point to add courses to a learning plan?Our vendor just sunset a bunch of courses and our learning plans need to be changed to add the new courses into the LP. If one doesn’t exist, how difficult is it to ask Docebo to create one for us?

API Endpoint to create learning plan - Learning plans are created as "under maintenance"

Dear Community,We had a couple of interesting experiences with our APIs in the recent past and had one more today that I’d like to share. 😊We have an automation to duplicate learning plans. However, we’ve noticed that the new learning plans are marked as “under maintenance” (I’m adding a screenshot here). My question: Does this affect also your API?Here is how you can try to reproduce:Use the endpoint “POST /learn/v1/lp” Use the following payload (you can change the dummy information) {   "name": "API Test LP",   "description": "<p>This is a test.<br><br></p>",   "code": "TEST-API-LP" } Send it out On the platform, add at least one course to the new learning plan Enrol in the learning plan Check on the page “My Courses and Learning Plan”, and find the learning planHere is a screenshot of how it looks like on our site:I tried to edit the learning plan using the API and some undocumented payload entries, without success for now. If you have a solution, that

Documenting API IDs

A huge drawback (for me) of using APIs is that 95% of the endpoints want some ID that isn’t easily visible. Usually you have go to a different API to retrieve it. There are some endpoints in the API browser, like "Returns list of mappable fields for the data importer" under Manage > Users that just 'dump' info. This is very helpful.This leaves me with two questions1. Somewhat rhetorically - How come Docebo has hamstrung us like this?  Why not have a series of standard endpoints, themselves organized collectively instead of hidden all over the place, that provide the basic ID for all catalogs, all learning plans, all courses, all training materials, all sessions, all events, etc. This api-browser holds so many endpoints, many that I can't imagine ever using...but the simple, low hanging tasks are almost impossible to do.2. So, assuming that I can happen upon a list of IDs that I want to use, how do I keep that information so that I don't need to figure out how to find it again? For e

Docebo Connect Outlook Integration - Adding Location Information

We must have missed a step in the recipe to include the location from the Docebo Event Venue Location for the Outlook Calendar Event Location. Hoping someone that is using this connection could help guide us how to include it in our recipe. Thank you.

Help with embedding Docebo into Salesforce Community/Experience

Hello,New Docebo user here, but long-time Salesforce admin and web developer.I’m tasked with embedding Docebo into my SF lighting community, which seems straightforward - I’ve synced my users, and followed the instructions here and here. This all seemed to work as advertised but LMS content doesn’t appear in my community where I’ve placed the Docebo Lightning Web Component.I have a support ticket opened for 14 days on this, and they’ve apparently escalated it to some internal specialist, but still no resolution.Has anyone else had this problem, and did you manage to work it out? If so, how?I expect this is some sort of privacy or permission settings in my Salesforce org, either org-wide or profile-based.Thanks!

User Additional Fields Dropdown No Longer Taking Special Characters!!

There is a critical error in one of our user additional fields. This field drives enrollment rules and notifications. One of the dropdown elements contains an ampersand “&” and that is being replaced by “&” . I have tried recreating the dropdown element and fixing the affected element. Both result in a return to the “&”. This means a user management file of over 1000 people can’t process, as the field in the sheet does not match the new faulty value. I created a ticket for this last friday, but docebo has not resolved this. I need to get someone competent assigned to my ticket to resolve this. @erin.brisson @pmo @matt.lewis

Automate Course Completion APIs

We are brand new to Docebo and APIs getting ready to launch our new LMS. We’ve run into issues where we need to use content from two different content providers (Aspire and HealthStream/CE Unlimited), and we can’t pull their content into Docebo. We would like to have centralized reporting in Docebo. For CE Unlimited, they provide a nightly report through their EFT site. I’m not sure about Aspire yet. Is there a way to set up an automation that would pull the completion report and feed it into Docebo so learners can see all of their completions in Docebo?

Using Okta for User Provisioning

Hi all, We are moving to Okta for our user provisioning and have been running into a few issues with our IT team. It sounds like Okta is not integrated for this purpose (idea pending) but I’m curious. Who else is using Okta for this and how are you doing it so that you can get all the correct fields mapped into the system?Thanks, D’Arcy

Update a learner's learning plan end date via the API

Hi there I’d love if anyone has an answer for this question below. Tried reaching out to help chat but didn’t really get a proper answer. Via the API how can we edit the LEARNER’s learning plan end date? Assume a learning plan expires after 6 months and if the user purchases a extension for another 4 months how can we streamline this to make it automatic via the APIs to update the user’s learning plan end date? I know we can manually do this via the learning plan tab in the admin portal but I am looking for an automatic way.  Would love any feedback. Thanks.

API - List Values

I’m struggling a bit with the API documentation.  There are many API calls that leverage the numeric value for field options that are only text-based in the platform, documentation, and help.  For example, “Level” for a course.  I know the options are student (don’t get me started about why it’s “Learner” in the frontend dropdown lists but “student” if you’re using CSV), tutor, instructor.  BUT...which is which numeric value?  I can’t find it ANYWHERE in the resources.  Same thing for “status” I know the options are subscribed, enrolled, in progress, completed, etc.  but what number goes with each status?  If someone can please point me to the place where these lookup values are hidden, I would greatly appreciate it.

Docebo - Zoom v2 integration issue: meetings keep changing when Docebo Event is updated

Hello everyone,Throwing this out there trying to see if we are the only ones experiencing this issue. Tried to take it up with Docebo Support who said it was an issue with Zoom and Zoom Support telling me it must be an issue with the way Docebo makes the link. (I also lean towards the latter.)Background: We commercially offer trainings for orthomolecular therapy and other health related topics to external people. Our hosts (some 15 people, based in different countries) are successful therapists / medical professionals, mostly employed on a per-event-basis and have their own busy businesses to run outside of that.What do we experience?When we create an ILT event and want to use the Zoom v2 the meeting gets created just fine.HOWEVER, if we make ANY update to the event (even just clicking “Save” without changing anything), i.e. switching the trainer, the original Zoom meeting is deleted and a new one is created.What’s our problem with that?Our hosts are not technologically savvy and all a

Webex Control Hub

Is anyone else using the newer Webex Control Hub? We’ve made the jump and are having issues with syncing errors in the LMS now. All of the fields appear to match. We made the transition on Monday and had errors all day. Apparently, it takes times for everything to talk properly, so it was working Tuesday for about 3 hours, then stopped working all of a sudden. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Grabbing Course Details of a Catalog

Saw a couple of ideas and posts lately about allowing reports to have information about the courses within a catalog. Definitely not a perfect solution, but for those waiting on improvements, might help somewhat. There is a way to use the API Browser to get some of this information. It’s not a 1:1 on the requests so I don’t think it warrants a true API Quick Grabs article, but it could help some folks.Note: This uses a ‘GET’ call, so you are simply viewing the data, as a result it is very safe to do even if you are not comfortable using API’s.Getting the dataGo to your API Browser (<YOUR SUBDOMAIN>.docebosaas.com Navigate to ‘learn’ in the ‘Services’ menu if not on it already, select ‘Catalogue’ on the left-hand menu and select the first option: ‘Retrieves all catalogues, filtered on input parameters’. You will notice there are a bunch of settings and filters in the middle. These are all optional, but definitively read through to be aware of what is there and might be useful. Th

Setting up APIs to integrate Docebo with Google Calendar

[TLDR]: Does anyone have guidance on how to build a custom solution in order to integrate Docebo with Google Calendar?  Hi All, I hope you’re having a 1 cup of coffee/tea day (as opposed to a 4 cup day)! I want to integrate Docebo with Google Calendar to automatically add calendar events when a user is enrolled in a course or ILT session. I’d like the calendar events to live on the users’ primary calendars, so that they will be visible to other people within my organization, like their managers. I’d also like the calendar events to be automatically updated if there are any changes made to the course or ILT session, within Docebo.Docebo Connect is expensive, so I’m exploring the technical route, via webhooks and APIs. I’ve met with my Docebo account and customer success managers for support, but they mostly just tried to upsell Connect. I also met with my IT team, but they were hesitant to build something, without having technical support from Docebo. Does anyone have any tips for how I
