Auto reply on inbox messages

Is it possible to create an auto reply for inbox messages on Canvas (for example an out of office message)?

Hello  @l_m_vander_lubb .and welcome to the Canvas Community!  This is not possible currently, but there is an idea open for this functionality that you may want to vote up.

Can you please send me the solution to start my auto reply. I do not see the solution.

Hello @DorisShaw ...

As @ericwerth has stated above, the Canvas Inbox does not have an auto-reply option.  The link that was provided was from the old Canvas Community website.  However, I have found a similar Feature Idea which may be similar to what you are requesting: Auto-reply for Canvas messages - Instructure Community.  If you feel that this Feature Idea would be something you'd like to see implemented by Instructure (the company that makes Canvas), then you might want to consider giving it a star rating (How do idea conversations work in the Instructure ... - Instructure Community) and also add a comment letting them know why this would be important to you.

Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
