Can I set notifications to repeat until a submission is graded?

[sandi_wilson]

We would like to enhance notifications for a client course by having repeat notifications sent to teachers until the submission upload is graded. Is this possible, or something similar?

Thank you!

Hello @sandi_wilson

Currently, there isn't a built in feature for this. All users on Canvas can customize their notifications including how often they are notified and for what. There have been others with similar ideas:

Feel upvote that as we implement great ideas such as this that we find within the community.

You can however send a message to students from the gradebook who haven't submitted an assignment. This is the closest thing to what you are looking for and it can be very helpful. You decide which status you want to bulk send a message to the student for - including haven't submitted yet.

Here is the Canvas guide:

Hi There! Thanks. The questions is really about doing repeat notifications to Teachers when they need to grade a submission. The students submitting isn't our issue, its reminding the Teacher they need to grade it.
Any options for this?
Thank you!!
