D2L Brightspace is a learning management system that provides a comprehensive suite of tools for educators to create, manage, and deliver online courses and learning experiences.
D2L Brightspace is a learning management system that provides a comprehensive suite of tools for educators to create, manage, and deliver online courses and learning experiences. On Nagent, D2L Brightspace is exposed as a fully-configurable education integration that any agent can call — 45 actions, and OAuth authentication. No code is required to wire D2L Brightspace into your workflow — connect it once via the External Integrations panel and reuse it across every agent you build.
Agent builders use D2L Brightspace to automate the kinds of tasks education teams previously handled manually. Concrete examples — each one is a single agent step in Nagent — include:
Every action and trigger is paired with a structured input/output schema (visible in the sections below), so when you wire D2L Brightspace into Helix — our agentic agent builder — the editor knows exactly what each step expects and produces. Configure once, deploy anywhere across your Nagent agents.
Every operation an agent can call against D2L Brightspace, with input parameters and output schema. Drop these into any step of an agent built in Helix.

No publicly available marketplace agent is found using this tool yet. There are 68 agents privately built on Nagent that already use D2L Brightspace.
Build on Nagent
Connect D2L Brightspace to any Nagent agent in minutes — no API key management, no boilerplate. Just configure and deploy.
The five questions agent builders ask before adopting a new integration.
Open the External Integrations panel inside Nagent (app.nagent.ai/externalIntegration), find D2L Brightspace, and click "Connect Now." You'll authenticate with OAuth — Nagent handles credential storage and refresh automatically. Once connected, D2L Brightspace is available to any agent in your workspace.
No. Nagent provides no-code integration for every tool. Once D2L Brightspace is connected, you configure its 45 actions directly in the agent builder UI — no API calls, no boilerplate, no schema management.
Helix — Nagent's agentic agent builder — lets you drop D2L Brightspace steps into any workflow visually. Pick an action (e.g., one of those listed above), fill in the inputs (Helix knows the required vs. optional schema for each parameter), and connect it to upstream/downstream steps. Triggers run as the entry point of an agent, so when a D2L Brightspace event fires, the agent kicks off automatically.
Every D2L Brightspace action and trigger ships with a fully-typed schema — input parameters with name, type, required flag, and description, plus the output payload shape. The schemas are documented in the sections above. Helix uses these schemas to validate your configuration at build time and to type-check the data flowing between steps.
Yes. While D2L Brightspace ships with 45 pre-built education actions, you can layer custom logic around them inside Helix — pre/post-processing steps, conditional branches, retries, or stitching D2L Brightspace together with other connected tools.
