Canvas gives administrators the option to set up a custom sender name for Canvas notifications. This custom text can be your institution name or whatever sender information you would like to use. Using the custom text field helps students identify account notification emails more easily and improves the quality of student-instructor interaction.
Setting a custom sender name does not affect course notifications, which are always sent as the name of the course. However, daily and weekly course summaries (which can mention multiple courses) are sent as an account notification.
If no custom name is set, Canvas uses the account default.
Note: Sub-account admins cannot change the sender name in account email notifications.
