Out of office auto replies to Canvas msgs

Can you set an Out of Office auto reply to students who msg you through Canvas when you are not at work?

Hello @luisalarocca,

This is possible but is a Canvas root account setting that an LMS administrator needs to enable. The functionality became available in the middle of July 2024 and is documented in the release notes at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Canvas-Release-Notes-2024-07-20/ta-p/606797.

After it has been enabled by an LMS administrator, the "How do I manage my Inbox settings?" guide at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-manage-my-Inbox-settings/ta-p/616661 explains it from an end user perspective.
