'notify' field for enrollment csv file - SIS import

[DanielleHowarth]

I'm enrolling a large number number of staff for employee training that they will be doing on Canvas, and I was told to use the 'notify' column in the enrollment.csv file if I'd like to notify the users they've been enrolled. There doesn't seem to be any guidance though on what you should put in that column. I tried with one user by just putting the world 'email' there, but they never received an email. Has anyone ever used this column before that can provide some useful tips/guidance? Thanks!

Hi @DanielleHowarth,

According to the SIS Import Format documentation, that field is just a boolean value.  So you'd have "true" to notify the user about the enrollment, or "false" to enroll without notification.

Hope this info helps!
