Can instructors set up an automated email to students?

if I want to send the same email weekly to students, can I just set up an automated email?

Hi Verona,

Canvas doesn't have an automated email function, but what you can do and as long as your students have disabled getting notification‌s is to use announcement‌s and schedule them to go out weekly for the entire course. When a new #announcement‌ posts it will trigger the student to get a notification to their email and or student app. 

Hope this helps.
