Hello Canvas Community!
Is there a way for an instructor to be notified when a student is added (using the +People button or a .csv SIS Import) to their course?
We use Canvas for Advising students and many times a student will be added, but the instructor isn't notified of the addition.
Thanks for any insight or help!

Hi Sarah. Looking through information in the Community, it doesn't appear as though this feature currently exists, but it has been brought up a couple of times:
Notification when a student adds or drops the course (you may need to request access to Cold Storage to view)
Automatic Notification for changes in course enrollment status (open for voting)
One of the suggestions in the first idea is to see if your student information system could send a message when a student is added to a course. Do you know if this is a possibility? I can see the value of having the option to have course enrollment changes being brought to the attention of a teacher so voted for the open idea. You might consider voting as well.
I hope this helps!
