course invitation

[mdsifat]

I have been trying to send course invitations from the course people section. Every time it shows me that the invitation has been sent but I dint get any emails. I have published the demo course before sending the invitations.

Also in the course I dint find any option for join code neither it gives me any link for new students who dont have any emails with canvas.

This course has enabled open enrollment. Students can self-enroll in the course once you share with them this URL: https://www.lms.unive.one/enroll/9433P4 fewer options

Let students self-enroll by sharing with them a secret URL

Add a "Join this Course" link to the course home page

here is the outgoing_mail.yml setting

production:
  address: "smtp.gmail.com"
  port: "587"
  enable_starttls_auto: false
  user_name: "***@gmail.com"
  password: "wdcddunuwoediyzt"
  authentication: "plain" # plain, login, or cram_md5
  domain: "smtp.gmail.com"
  outgoing_address: "***@gmail.com"
  default_name: "canvas"

Hi @mdsifat 

In your demo course, is it an active course as determined by the participation dates? If you are trying to send invites, they won't go out until the start date of the course and if the course is published. You mentioned that it shows the invitation sent but you are not receiving an email, are you trying to send an email to an account that you have set up for testing?
