How do I manage automated deadline nudges in Canvas Catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can automatically send personalized reminder emails to students based on course end dates and progress. These nudges are configured through a dedicated automation menu and use customizable templates with dynamic variables.

Notes:

  • Deadline nudge emails only apply to courses, not programs.
  • Deadline nudge emails apply to catalogs and subcatalogs.
