Sending welcome email from Members app

Hi,

I have a site with members app and secure downloads working fine, I realise there is an option for members to be approved and a subsequent welcome email is then sent. Is there anyway for an automated email to be sent upon successful registration by an end user, when approval is disabled?

Would I have to use the API for this, and if so, can anyone provide any examples?

Many thanks

Lee

Yes, that happens. The email template is welcome.html

Hi Drew,

Thanks for the speedy response, are you saying this should happen automatically, when an end user registers themselves i.e they do not have to be approved?

I have the members app installed but emails are only sent on approval via back end. I want an email to be sent regardless of how the member is registered

Am I missing something?

Cheers

Lee

Ah, no, what you're seeing is how it works. The purpose of the email is to let the user know they've been moderated through.

Ah ok, thanks Drew. Is there a way to do this? - is there some kind of callback function that we can hook in to via the API, or are there any specific examples you can provide?

No, but I'll log it as a request.
