Images in Email notifications

[amy_plant]

When I send invitations to join a course, the button to get started and the canvas logo are not appearing. I checked permissions on the images folder and its contents, and it is set to 775. When I view the email source code and copy and past the URL into a browser, I can see the images. 

In addition, I would like to know where I can set the variable 'custom_logo' to display the company log and not the canvas logo, which I think should be in admin settings, but I can't find where.

Hi  @amy_plant  Welcome

I do at least have an answer one one of your questions...............

• How do I create a theme for an account using the Theme Editor? 

That will help you set a theme, and brand it with your school's own logo.

I hope this helps,

Thanks, I have done that quite successfully

I did eventually figure it out. 

1) The site where the images are stored, needs to be secured with an SSL (https)

2) To display the company logo requires getting access to the debase, and setting account.settings[:email_logo] to the correct URL of the custom company logo.

Does anybody know if this is still valid in 2021?

Should i add the ":email_logo: https://abc.com/logo.png" to the Site Admin record, or to the account record in accounts.settings?

Thanks!

@nicolopez77 ,

I haven't tested this but in Canvas Official document: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/wiki/Settings-%28customization%29

They have provided the custom setting like: 

Setting.set('codecogs.equation_image_link', "<your custom url>")

For your case, it might be: Setting.set('email_logo', '<your url>')

And for this type of Commands, it's used in your Rails console.

Just try, I haven't known if this is right or not, but at least it's worth trying.
