I get a number of job and internship opportunities in my email inbox, and I'd love an easy way to share them with students without spamming their email. Is it possible to forward emails from outside Canvas into a dedicated (e.g. job board) Discussion or Conference within Canvas? It's way too time consuming to download all urls, attachments, etc. and then upload them as messages, but it'd be great if I could just forward them. All help appreciated!

 @aksahal ‌,

By design, you cannot send content from an external email back into Canvas unless you are replying to a notification.  Even then, attachments do not move from the external email into the Inbox.  There are APIs that allow you to add content to different tools, but it will take someone familiar with them to use them.
