Environment
U-M Slack, U-M Canvas
Issue
How do I use Canvas in U-M Slack? How do I enable notifications?
Important: This article pertains to the U-M Canvas/Canvas LMS integration with Slack. It is NOT related to the
Slack canvases feature.
Resolution
Note: The only integration between Canvas and Slack is the Canvas Course Slack Workspace.
Enable Canvas Notifications in U-M Slack
- Log in to U-M Slack.
- Set Slack as a contact method in Canvas.
- Enter your @umich.edu email address as your Slack email.
- Copy the confirmation code in the message from the UM-Canvas App in U-M Slack.
- The UM-Canvas App will be automatically added to your Apps in Slack.
- Paste the four-character code (case sensitive) into the Confirm Communication Channel field in Canvas.
By default, all notifications for Slack are turned off. After adding Slack as a contact method, you will need to enable notifications for Slack within Canvas.
