[ARCHIVED] Need guidance for sending a message or email to teachers through CANVAS

[beckila]

Is it possible to send an email or message to all our teachers through CANVAS?

Hi  @beckila 

Canvas does not have an email function. With the Canvas Inbox, a student could send a message to the teacher(s) in one course, but then would need to create a new message for each teacher, in each course.  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10574-4212710325 

I do not know if you are a K12 or Higher-Ed student, but many schools provide email accounts for students and teachers, and you could use your school's email account to send a single message to all instructors at once.

I would check with your school about email accounts.

Thank you for your answer. If we created a group of users (teachers) and opened a discussion, would that function similarly to sending an email message to selected members of the (school) community?
