How to send bulk emails to people with different roles (Teacher, Learning Designer, and Observer)?

[PittWu]

I am planning on sending bulk emails to all of our teaching staff members on Canvas; however, they are enrolled in different courses, so it would be time and labour consuming if I jump into different courses and send the emails. So, I was wonder if Canvas can be able to send emails to people who are only identified as certain roles such as teacher, learning designer or observer.

@PittWu If the teaching staff members are in the same subaccount/account, you can send a Global Announcement, which will be sent to users with particular course roles. If the user has email notifications on for Global Announcements, they will get an email with the announcement.

Do note that any images within the Global Announcement will not be sent in the email, so if you do have an image (like a flyer) you may want to direct users to click on a link to view the image if needed.

Hope this helps!
