Having the same issue of it not working after upgrading forum from 4.4 to 4.5. 

Running latest version, didn't make the welcome post.

Do you have it set to create a post immediately, or with some delay?

Immediate.  All members are manually approved, but it worked OK like this before.

When trying to update I get this

INSERT INTO `x_utf_autowelcome_members` ( `welcome_member_id`, `welcome_sent` ) VALUES ( 1, 1 )
Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'

That means there's already a record for member ID 1 in the x_utf_autowelcome_members table. Since that's a primary key on that table, there can only be one row per member. This happened to us after the process broke partway through because of a loss of internet connectivity.

I suggest uninstalling the application and reinstalling it after your upgrade is complete, then running the query in this post (change the table names to include your x_utf_ prefix):

Be sure that you don't use the delay option as there appears to be an issue with that causing it to contact most of your members.

I am in same boat.  Upgraded - no go.  Uninstalled, reinstalled - no go.  I hope there is some help along soon.  Great feature to my community and I am in peak season...doing it manually is a PAIN!  Thanks Michael.J.

So I have it installed on three forums, all have low new member rates.  A second forum just had a new member, and I didn't get the welcome post.

@Michael.J, I know this is free, but many people really like it.  Any chance it will be fixed soon?  Maybe make it into a paid app to help you out a little?

Thanks

I don't understand how the previous unsupported version worked? 😂

This is nothing against Michael but I thought IPS are meant to check these things before being released, with this new stringent Marketplace?

Free is awesome, but just in case any of you *really* need this feature working for 4.5, there's this option:

 

 

I have simply reverted back to version 2.5.6

Looks nice, but the current app is more specific to welcoming new members.  Lots of options, posts, PMs, emails...

Nice. Does that work on 4.5? I’m planning on upgrading soon!

Yea true. The Auto Drip does just emails and pm (can be immediate or delay).

My attempt to update resulted in a crash and the mod has disappeared from my plugin list but when I try to install it manually, I get this error:

An application is already installed that uses the same Application Key, this application cannot be installed unless the other is removed

As I'm new to Invision forums, I'm not sure how to remove the Application Key, or even where to fnd it. Any suggestions please? Cheers

Could you please submit a ticket, I'd like to take a look at the issue to see why it happened.

Thank you for this solution but, If I can understand 50$ for the initial price, IMHO, the renewal terms at the same price is way too expensive.

This is an application so it will be in your application list, it won't be in your plugin list.

I haven't had any problems yet apart from the chatbox integration doesn't work which has always been the case.

Yea a bit pricier than some of the other apps, but I personally love it. I love sending a series of automated emails after someone signs up, comments, buys a subscription etc. I find a lot of value in it!

Ahh! There it is, thank you.

Fixed it, as advised in a post above, solution was to uninstall and reinstall the new version.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, despite this action, it's still not working for me 🤔

Also, if I hadn’t done this, we most likely wouldn’t have discovered the issue (at least not at this time).

Upon closer inspection of the database (and my inbox) it seems the application only managed to send the welcome message to around half of my members. It stopped sending after close to 3 000 messages, likely caused my me turning off the delay and thereby disabling the task responsible for sending the messages (the welcomeAlerts task). All members were still marked as having received the message, though.

However, those who signed up after the incident have not received the message, but have still been marked as having received it. To see if I could resend the message, I deleted the most recent member from the autowelcome_members table and (with fingers crossed) set the delay to one hour to reenable the welcomeAlerts tasks. The task ran, sending a completely blank message without a title to the most recent member.

I have now disabled the delay, again, and am eagerly awaiting a new registrations to see what happens next.

@Michael.J: Something is wrong, do you have any suggestions?

I just downloaded and installed this earlier today and it was working fine, then I updated to 4.5.3 and it appears to have broke it. Any ideas?

Yep I'm also getting issues upgrading with 4.5.3:

Sorry, you do not have permission for that!
1S111/1 Duplicate entry '2' for key 'PRIMARY'

 

I have a new version that fixes the immediate welcome and a background queue to remove the legacy field rather then upgrade step.

Those who are available to test this, particularly those upgrading with lots of members. Please PM me.
