Branding of Canvas Email Notifications

I am a parent of two students and a teacher at several educational institutions, all of which use Canvas. Canvas is excellent for managing my administrative tasks across these different roles. However, I sometimes struggle to determine which institution is sending me an email notification from Canvas. It takes me a moment to figure out the urgency and importance of the notification. It would be really helpful if the notifications included branding within the body of the email or in some other way.

Does this feature exist? If so, can you provide instructions on how to implement it? I would like to forward this information to the Canvas administrator at each institution where I am a system user.

Many thanks,

Carlos

Hi @humantag 

The Canvas admin can customize the "From" name that is included on email notifications from Canvas.  See:https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-sender-name-in-account-email-noti...

However, there isn't really any built-in function for doing additional branding on notifications, at least not that I can see.
