This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS
Please add a "out of office" feature to the Canvas messages so that students who use the Canvas Inbox to send messages during winter or summer breaks will know that faculty are off campus and unable to reply.
Please add an OOO feature to Canvas messages. My students seem to think I am working 24/7 and it would be nice to have a slight break from emails. I can do this with my school email, but it doesn't stop students from messaging me in Canvas which is what most choose to do.
This has been suggested many times before this. How are we in 2020, where even more people are heavily reliant on Canvas due to the pandemic and we don't have this ability?
Is this seriosuly not solved yet? I was on Canvas support and they won't even give me the name of our campus liaison to suggest this to. We should be able to disable the inbox or put an out of office reply. Plus, we are forced to use Canvas for the year because of the pandemic.
Yes, Please. I use auto reply all of the time. It let's parents know why I am not responding. It tells students I have their message. This tool is so incredibly valuable for mental health and communciation.
Has there been any development with an out of office automated reply? This is much needed especially when staff and students are taking much needed leave and expectations around comms need to be managed clearly. Thanks.
