Good Afternoon,
My university is using Canvas for an offering of continuing education courses. Is it possible to set up an auto-reply email that students would receive when they've enrolled in a course? We want to be able to notify them at that point that someone from the university will be in touch with them over the next 1-2 business days.
Thank you very much,
Patrick

Hi there @PatrickMcCormac ,
Welcome to the Instructure Community, and thank you for reaching out!
Just to clarify -- is this message you'd like to send out going to be sent to the student's email through a provider outside of Canvas, such as as Google? Or, are you intending to use the Canvas inbox?
Hi Noah,
Thanks for your reply. I think if it's an option, it would be better for us if the message could be sent through the universities email provider, Outlook. Otherwise, we could use the Canvas inbox.
Patrick
