How to automate welcome email to specific user group

[asigno]

Hi,

I want to send automated welcome emails which are to a specific user group, e.g. paid users who have purchased a subscription, with their user ID. 

I can't find any nice way to do this.

• Bulk email - would be a good option but can't schedule to run daily, and is not reliable due to running as a background task 
• Alerts - this could work, but you can't use tags in content so I can't add the user ID
• Auto Welcome plugin - this is great but can't specify a specific group
• Language strings - can't change “email_reg_complete" as can't specify specific group and is very rudimentary

Is there any other way or plugin you know of I can use?

Thanks

No, I can't think of any other modification that can do this. Are you using Commerce Subscriptions or Products for the paid option?

• If you are using Products, in ACP you can setup a custom email that is sent after a member purchases the product (WYSIWYG editor, HTML with default email wrapper, HTML with no wrapper).
• If you are using Subscriptions, the only option would be custom modification.

I'm using subscriptions. I'm genuinely surprised there's no native way to do this.

Subscriptions are basically a "watered down" version of products with very few options. Sending out an email after a purchase is not included by default, unfortunately. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe something will change with the coming v5.

I want a custom solution, where whenever a user is creating a topic, or replying a topic, I want to send a default message in invision community message system. That message will say something like "Thanks for creating a Post / Replying a post". 

Can I do this using default email & notifications ?

There isnt anything within the core platform that would achieve this. Please feel free to post up within our feedback area, if this is something you wish to see in the future
