[Inbox] Email (message) multiple classes at one time

[emalates]

Instructors often want, or are asked, to share news and information of importance to all our classes.  Currently, that means copying and pasting that information into anywhere from 2-5 different classes.  Given that there is a drop down box for choosing a class to message currently, adding the ability to select multiple classes seems like it would be an easy "fix".  Please add this capability ASAP.

I would be helpful if I could message multiple students across several courses on one email. Sometimes I have a blanket message I want to send to students across different courses and it would save me some time from having to choose the course individually and then sending the message.

This is such an obvious feature need.  As others have pointed out, we change our office hours, want to announce an event, etc.  I also have to believe this is an easy programming change.  Why does this need to stay an open issue for so many years?  Please just do it.

Some of us would love to be able to send a single message-blast to all my classes in one-fell-swoop, since at times we need to all of our students in all of our classes the same thing.  Is that configurable as an additional feature on Canvas? It would be a labor-saving shortcut.

Yes please!

Rated 5*s, commenting to give it a bump to the top! 😉

This would be a time-saving feature. Please add it in!

Please add this feature.  

Thanks.

in 2016 this originally was a request to have the ability to email multiple classes - I am adding to the original request of 4 years ago to allow this feature as a blind copy email to all students

It will be very helpful for instructors to be able to send emails to multiple courses at once in Canvas. Thanks.

I often have general announcements that need to go out to all of my classes.  It might be a job opening, etc.  To post it, I have to do each class individually.  It would be nice to be able to click on multiple classes who would get the message all at one time.  I send quite a few emails like this and I have to do it 3-4 separate times.  Thanks!
