Canvas Notification Settings: Our Recommendations

Posted: November 29, 2018 | Last Modified: January 25, 2024

Notifications are messages triggered by different activities in your Canvas course(s). You can choose to receive each type of notification immediately, as a daily or weekly digest, or not at all. 

We have found that Notification settings make a big difference to instructor satisfaction. For example, immediate notifications provide more information than daily or weekly digests.

Here’s a case study: Canvas allows students to leave a comment when they submit written assignments. Most of these comments are simple notes, such as that they enjoyed the activity. However, sometimes students say they need additional help, or have some other note that requires action on the part of the instructor. 

In a digest, instructors would only see that a student submitted a comment. However, an immediate notification would display the complete comment. Receiving immediate notification saves the instructor time so they don’t have to log into Canvas to see when closer attention is needed. 

This is just one of many situations in which choosing the appropriate Notification settings can improve instructor satisfaction and save time. 

Important Things to Know About Notifications:

• You determine the frequency
• Your Notification settings can be customized at any time
• You determine where the notification is received
• There may be a delay in receiving notifications
• Your Notification settings are applied to all courses that you are enrolled in across UW System Canvas
• You should only use your campus email address
• Students can select their own Notification preferences
• If you’d like to receive notifications on your phone, you need to download the mobile app.

Recommended Settings

View our recommended Notification settings for instructors.  This document explains how Canvas Notifications work in more detail, what Notification settings may be available to you, what triggers these notifications, and our recommended settings for instructors.

We highly recommend setting the following to Notify Me Right Away :

• Announcement
• Announcement created by you
• Late grading
• Submission comment
• Discussion post
• Added to conversation
• Conversation message
• Conversations created by me
• Administrative notifications ( Send Daily Summary is acceptable)

How to Set Notification Settings

View the official Canvas Guide on how to set your Canvas Notification preferences as an instructor.

Managing code review settings for your team

You can decrease noise for your team by limiting notifications when your team is requested to review a pull request.

Who can use this feature?

Team maintainers and organization owners can configure code review settings.

Code review settings are available in all public repositories owned by an organization, and all private repositories owned by organizations on GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Server, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see " GitHub’s plans ."

In this article

About code review settings.

To reduce noise for your team and clarify individual responsibility for pull request reviews, you can configure code review settings.

• Team notifications
• Auto assignment

About team notifications

When you choose to only notify requested team members, you disable sending notifications to the entire team when the team is requested to review a pull request if a specific member of that team is also requested for review. This is especially useful when a repository is configured with teams as code owners, but contributors to the repository often know a specific individual that would be the correct reviewer for their pull request. For more information, see " About code owners ."

About auto assignment

When you enable auto assignment, any time your team has been requested to review a pull request, the team is removed as a reviewer and a specified subset of team members are assigned in the team's place. Code review assignments allow you to decide whether the whole team or just a subset of team members are notified when a team is requested for review.

When code owners are automatically requested for review, the team is still removed and replaced with individuals unless a branch protection rule is configured to require review from code owners. If such a branch protection rule is in place, the team request cannot be removed and so the individual request will appear in addition to the team. Once the individual completes their review, the team is removed.

Routing algorithms

Code review assignments automatically choose and assign reviewers based on one of two possible algorithms.

The round robin algorithm chooses reviewers based on who's received the least recent review request, focusing on alternating between all members of the team regardless of the number of outstanding reviews they currently have.

The load balance algorithm chooses reviewers based on each member's total number of recent review requests and considers the number of outstanding reviews for each member. The load balance algorithm tries to ensure that each team member reviews an equal number of pull requests in any 30 day period.

Any team members that have set their status to "Busy" will not be selected for review. If all team members are busy, the pull request will remain assigned to the team itself. For more information about user statuses, see " Personalizing your profile ."

Configuring team notifications

In the upper-right corner of GitHub.com, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations .

Click the name of your organization.

Under your organization name, click Teams .

Click the name of the team.

At the top of the team page, click Settings .

In the left sidebar, click Code review .

Select Only notify requested team members.

Click Save changes .

Configuring auto assignment

Select Enable auto assignment .

Under "How many team members should be assigned to review?", select the dropdown menu and choose a number of reviewers to be assigned to each pull request.

Under "Routing algorithm", use the dropdown menu and choose which algorithm you'd like to use. For more information, see " Routing algorithms ."

Optionally, to always skip certain members of the team, select Never assign certain team members . Then, select one or more team members you'd like to always skip.

Optionally, to include members of child teams as potential reviewers when assigning requests, select Child team members .

Optionally, to count any members whose review has already been requested against the total number of members to assign, select Count existing requests .

Optionally, to remove the review request from the team when assigning team members, select Team review request .

Disabling auto assignment

Deselect Enable auto assignment .

Manage notifications

This article is for teachers and students. Guardians, go to  About guardian email summaries .  

By default, you get email notifications for some activities, such as when someone comments on your post or your teacher returns work. Students and teachers can change their notification settings at any time. If you use Classroom on a mobile device, you need to update the settings on your device as well.

Open all | Close all

You can decide if you want to get email notifications about updates to your classes.

Go to classroom.google.com  and click Sign In.

Sign in with your Google Account. For example,  [email protected] or [email protected] .  Learn more .

Important: This control affects most, but not all notifications. Examples of notifications you’ll still receive:

• Course changes, such as ownership transfer and copying a course
• Drive quota exceeded errors
• Abuse alerts for customer accounts
• Any notifications related to guardians

You can choose the notifications that you get for all of your classes. For example, you can turn off invitation notifications for all classes but keep notifications for assignments on.

Teacher notifications

Student notifications.

You can choose whether you receive notifications for a specific class. For example, if you don’t want any notifications for your Math class, you can turn them off, but you’ll still get notifications for your other classes.

Note: If you turn off notifications for a class, all notifications for that class are turned off.

Grade, return, and reassign assignments

Managing and grading class assignments is more efficient than ever with Microsoft Teams! Add grades and feedback directly into assignments so that you and your students are on the same page. Request revisions on students' work when you return it with feedback. Excuse a student from an assignment. If a student experiences technical difficulties when submitting their work, act on their behalf to submit for them!

Need to put grading on pause to take care of other tasks? No problem. Comments and feedback on assignments are saved as you go, and you can quickly return to them even if you close the tab, grade other assignments, or go to another page in Teams.
