Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Monday

Keep the people, teams, and status that Monday and D2l Brightspace share aligned in real time, so a hire, role change, or departure recorded in one reaches the other within seconds.

Each tool in Monday keeps its own list of who can use it: users, members, or agents, along with the team they sit on and whether they are still active. D2l Brightspace is the authoritative record of the same people as employees, with their department, manager, and employment status. When those two are connected only by manual account admin or a periodic export, the work tools drift: new hires wait days for access, team and manager changes never catch up, and people who have left keep standing accounts.

Stacksync syncs Updates, Users, Workspaces, Boards in Monday with Assignments (Dropbox), Groups and Sections, Users, Enrollments in D2l Brightspace bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, moved, or offboarded in D2l Brightspace creates or updates the matching user in Monday within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of spreadsheets and one-off account changes. Where Monday captures details of its own, such as a corrected contact or a login identity, those can flow back to D2l Brightspace in whichever direction you configure.

Because the sync is field-level, each system keeps its own extras; only the shared facts, who a person is, which team they belong to, and whether their access should be on, are held in agreement.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror monday.com Boards, Groups, and Subitems into a warehouse for cross-project reporting on status and timelines without CSV exports.
  • 02 Push support tickets or orders from an operational database into monday.com Items, then read status Column values back when work completes.
  • 03 Write Grades reconciled in a warehouse back onto Brightspace grade objects, and read grade values out for transcript and completion reporting.
  • 04 Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.

Common sync patterns

Onboarding: access ready on day one

A new hire recorded in D2l Brightspace creates the matching user in Monday with the right team and manager already set, so people can start working without waiting on a provisioning ticket.

Offboarding: no standing access after a departure

When someone is marked as leaving in D2l Brightspace, the matching account in Monday is deactivated or flagged, so departures do not leave open access behind.

One employee directory

A person's name, title, contact details, or status corrected in either system updates the other, so both sides stop maintaining separate copies of the same person.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace and Monday

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

D2l Brightspace objects Monday objects How this pairing syncs
Users User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS. Users Account members referenced by people columns; read to resolve owner and assignee IDs to names and emails. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Assignments (Dropbox) Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back. Subitems Nested rows under items, stored on a separate hidden board; synced as a child table linked to the parent item. Assignments (Dropbox) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Subitems to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Column values Typed fields (status, date, people, numbers, connect-boards); polymorphic JSON usually written together via change_multiple_column_values. Groups and Sections is specific to D2l Brightspace and Column values to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Enrollments Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting. Groups Named sections that group items inside a board; synced as a grouping attribute or category field on the row. Enrollments is specific to D2l Brightspace and Groups to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Updates Comment and activity threads attached to items; read out into a database for reporting or written back as notes. Org Units is specific to D2l Brightspace and Updates to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Workspaces Top-level containers that hold boards; used to scope which boards a given sync covers. Grades is specific to D2l Brightspace and Workspaces to Monday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between D2l Brightspace and Monday

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Rate-limit considerations

  • D2l Brightspace: Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.
  • Monday: Complexity-budget limits: a single query caps at 5M complexity points and ~10M points/min per user token (1M on trial/free) over a sliding 60s window.

Change detection
Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and Brightspace Data Streams webhooks (xAPI activity events) for near-real-time signals
Capabilities
