When using Canvas built-in message service to forward a message from one user to another, is the sender of the forwarded message ever informed of this? That is, can they find out if the message was forwarded?

Hi @MajoY
As far as I know, the answer is no. The original sender is not notified. But, since I have never tested that, I have just got to test it.
This may take a bit, but if I learn something different, I will come back and let you know.

Hello @MajoY ...
I just tested this in my own Canvas environment using two dummy accounts, Frodo Baggins and Optimus Prime. I found a past message in my Canvas Inbox between me and Optimus Prime. I forwarded the message I had received from Optimus Prime to Frodo Baggins. I then logged in as Frodo Baggins (I am a Canvas administrator at our Technical College, so I can do this). I was able to see the message I forwarded in Frodo's Inbox. I then logged in as Optimus. The message I forwarded to Frodo did not appear in Optimus' Inbox. So, to answer your question, it appears that a user would not be notified if you forwarded their message in your Inbox to another user.
Hope this helps a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions...thanks! Take care, stay safe, and be well.
