Hi Dave,

That isnt possible at the moment, but I've submitted an enhancement request for what you suggest. There is some messaging available in Programes, also if you make the course self-enrollable its possible to customise a welcome email - 

Settings>Course admin>Users>Enrolment methods>Self enrolment

hope this is useful,

regards,

George.

Hi Dave

There are probably 'official' ways to do this, but I though I'd share the two ways we do it:

1, We send emails to new when staff when they are assigned the system role of 'Staff Member role' :

 Site Admin > Users> Permissions > Define roles

There a section for a "Welcome email message"  which we use to introduce the site, sign them up for induction and also to check that IT have correctly provisioned their account.

2, We automatically enrol all staff in the '90 day survey for new staff' course page (via LDAP settings) and set Completion to 'Duration after enrolment' (90 days) and then use the Reminder emails to invite them to tell us about their first 90 days.

Cheers
Austen
