[ARCHIVED] Can You Create A Saved Signature for Messages in Inbox?

[sespillar]

It would be extremely beneficial as an instructor to be able to have a saved message signature that automatically populates when sending or responding to messages in Inbox. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi there, @sespillar and @cholling ...

Last evening I came across a fairly new blog post from Instructure called New Features, Big Impact: Enhancing Common Workflows in Canvas LMS that I think you'll find interesting.  It sounds like signatures in the Canvas Inbox are coming soon...as well as several other things.  Happy reading!

It is not possible. The messages Inbox is text only with no way to embed images or use other formatting.

Hello @sespillar ...

In addition to the response from @cholling, I wanted to provide you with a link to this Feature Idea which you might be interested in: Signature Block.  I hope that this will be of some help to you.
