How do I set up a notification for missing assignments?

Hi @JulieZimmerman ...

I'm not sure if you are a student or an instructor, but I wanted to provide you with a couple links to past discussions/Feature Ideas here in the Community.  These resources might not be a direct answer to your question, but they might be helpful for you to look at:

• Solved: How can I notify students about missing assignment... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com...
• Missing assignment email message or notification t... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

The second link, which is a Feature Idea, is currently locked down (like all other Feature Ideas at the moment) because Instructure is working on the Feature Idea process which includes creating new ideas, commenting on existing ideas, and giving a star rating on existing ideas.  Instructure has said they will be opening things back up at the beginning of February 2023.  You can read more about this here: Idea Conversations: The Path Forward.

I hope this will help a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

I am actually a parent, so this response was not very helpful.  If there is a way for me to set a notification for my child's missing assignments, please let me know. Thanks

Thank you for the clarification.  I'll pass your question along to one of the Community Managers at Instructure who might have more experience with this than I do.  Stay tuned!

Hi @JulieZimmerman - With the Canvas Parent app, you can select which alerts you receive.  This is the most automatic way to receive these nudges. Otherwise, notifications (email) can be set for grading, but that isn't always the same as "missing" something.

How do I set alerts for a student in the Canvas Parent app on my Android device? 

How do I view alerts in the Canvas Parent app on my iOS device? 

How do I manage my Canvas notification settings as an observer?
