Canvas Notifications
Canvas includes a set of default notification settings you can receive for your courses. However, you can change the default settings by setting your own notification settings. These settings only apply to you; they are not used to control how course updates are sent to other users.
Notifications are sent as one of four delivery types: notify me right away, daily summary, weekly summary, or don’t send. If you change a setting, the change is made immediately to your account.
Notification settings apply to all of your courses unless you set notification settings for individual courses.
You may be able to reply directly to email notifications outside of Canvas. Replies are updated in the Canvas Inbox. However, please be aware that attachments added as part of an external reply are not included with the message shown in Canvas.
Notes:
- Notifications are sent to Canvas contact methods as specified in your account.
- The Canvas Student app supports setting notification settings. However, managing settings inside the app will override settings in the browser version of Canvas.
Users can set up their notification settings for their entire Canvas account and per course.
Users have to configure these notifications on their own. For example, instructors cannot configure notification settings for their students. Here are some Guides:
