Automating member signup email

Developing with Concrete
1

Concrete 5.6.4.0 (looking to upgrade next year)

I want create an automated email response for people registering on my site (using the built in registration system). The email will says thanks for registering as well as a password for CAD files they can download and use. Email also cc’d to me.

Any ideas please?

You can use the “on_user_add” event to handle this by

Adding the following line to your config/site.php file

define('ENABLE_APPLICATION_EVENTS', true);

Create a new file named site_events.php in the config/ directory and have this as the content:

<?php
Events::addListener('on_user_add', function($ui) {
	$emailBody = '<p>This is the html of the email the user will receive.</p>';

	$mh = Loader::helper('mail');
	$mh->from('SET_FROM_EMAIL_HERE');
	$mh->to($ui->getUserEmail());
	$mh->setSubject('SET_EMAIL_SUBJECT_HERE');
	$mh->setBodyHTML($emailBody);
	$mh->sendMail();
});
