Slack: Enable U-M Canvas App Notifications

Environment

U-M Slack, U-M Canvas

Issue

How do I use Canvas in U-M Slack? How do I enable notifications?

Resolution

Note: The only integration between Canvas and Slack is the Canvas Course Slack Workspace.

Enable Canvas Notifications in U-M Slack

1. Log in to U-M Slack.
2. Set Slack as a contact method in Canvas.
   • Enter your @umich.edu email address as your Slack email.
3. 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.
4. 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.
