Inbox - Send a Message

In the Inbox, you can send a message to one user or multiple users in a course.

If your recipient list contains more than 100 users, your message will automatically be sent as individual messages to each user. As the sender, you will also be included in the total recipient count.

Notes:

Messaging users across multiple courses is limited to account-level (admin) roles.
You can also send a message to yourself, but messages can only be viewed in the Sent messages folder.
Users display in the Inbox once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.
You cannot send messages to users in concluded courses.
