You may be able to use Conversations to send a message to all users in a course, all users in a specific role, or all users in a group.

If your recipient list contains more than 100 users, your message will automatically be sent as individual messages to each user.

Notes:

• Messaging all users is a course permission. If you cannot send a message to all users, your institution has restricted this feature.
• Once your course has concluded, you cannot send a message to all users.
• Users display in Conversations once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.

You can filter the conversations in your Inbox for easier organization, especially if you are enrolled in multiple courses. Filtering conversations allows you to selectively view conversation messages by course, inbox, or user.

In Conversations, you can send a message to one user or multiple users in a group.

Note: Currently you cannot message users in multiple groups.

Canvas has built-in support for a number of different SIS systems. Canvas can also support integrating with arbitrary SIS systems or other user management tools through its SIS CSV interface.

All SIS systems can integrate with Canvas and send assignment submissions back to its system. Learn how to configure SIS submissions.
