Can someone tell me how to use italics, bolding, underlining or create a live URL in Canvas email?
Hi @PaulEllison ,
I don't use the Inbox much, but based on responses I've seen here, I think the answer is that the Canvas Inbox is not set up for that type of formatting. It is not a true email service but rather is a simplified communications service.
Perhaps you could achieve your goal by attaching a file containing the formatting and links you would like to use:
How do I attach a file to a message as an Instructor?
How do I attach a file to a message as a student?
Hello @PaulEllison ...
Totally agree with everything that @TrishaMeyer1 has stated. I'll just add that there's an existing Idea here in the Community that has lots of feedback and support for adding the RCE (Rich Content Editor) to the Canvas Inbox:

Hope this helps in some way!
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
