Is there a way to automatically send certificates of completion to folks who complete our Canvas courses? For each unit we like to send certificates of completion to our participants, but we've been doing it by hand and I'm trying to automate the process. We have our own certificate design we like to use (maybe that's part of the issue?) I know that Canvas Catalog has a certificate option that can be toggled for each Catalog course, but there are only two templates (plus an HTML/CSS option). Is there a way we can use our existing custom template in Canvas directly, or is Catalog the best place to create and automate certificates?
