Yes, a welcome message when a new member joins EBT would be… welcome. Something like when registering to this Forum. This could be sent by default when a user joins.htb wrote:I was thinking: how about a welcome message for new users. You could mail some basic instruction, their username (and password) and stuff like that.emmem wrote: I think it's a good idea indeed to add checkboxes in the user account details. This way, users will be able to easily opt in/out from notifications (when one of your bills is re-entered) and newsletters.
Then there are the newsletters. I think a first newsletter should be sent after implementing the welcome mails. The first newsletter should contain instructions how to unsubscribe or to subscribe to the newsletter.
To unsubscribe I know two ways.
1. A checkbox in the user account details
2. Sending an email with the word unsubscribe somewhere in the subject.
Although I prefer the first way, maybe both could be made available. To subscribe the same way(s) should be used.
Once welcome mails are implemented and the first newsletter has been sent, future newsletters should only be sent to the recipients of the mailing list of course.
