Topic on Talk:Notifications

Hello!

I create users in my wiki manually and specify a correct email adressess.

New user first time logging to my wiki can see its first notice "Welcome to mywiki, ‪newuser‬! We're glad you're here."

How can i sent this Welcome message or any other greetings message to the users mail automaticall after create accounts?

My wiki can sent messages to another users, its work with test mail from one user to other

Here are some other settings that may be needed:

$wgEnableEmail = true;

$wgEnableUserEmail = true; # UPO

$wgEmailAuthentication = false;

Hello

I asked engineers regarding your request.

The answer is you can't do it without creating a new notification type (via Extension:Echo) and calling it yourself.

You'd have to change $wgEchoNotifications['welcome']['category'] from system-noemail to system. But unless you use some nonstandard registration mechanism, the user won't have a confirmed email address at this point and the email won't actually be sent.
