[ARCHIVED] Controlling if/when automatic course invitations are sent out?

I'm looking for a way to control if/when students receive the automated course invitation from Canvas.

Question 1: Is there a way to turn off the automatic invitation when I enroll a student? I would prefer to send them an email with my own text and a link to the course.

Question 2: If I can't turn it off, is there a way to control WHEN the invitation is sent? I would prefer to enroll them ahead of time, but not confuse them about the fact that the course hasn't started yet. 

Thank you!

HI  @kchatain ‌

I don't know if there is a way to keep them from going out automatically, but they don't go out until after the course is published. So, you can send out the email with the link and personal verbiage and then publish the course soon after.
