Welcome notice

Location in desktop browser: Left menu > Admin > Preferences > Notices

Location on mobile device: Bottom of page > More > Admin > Preferences > Notices

The Welcome notice is sent automatically to members who join an unrestricted group or whose membership in a restricted group has been approved. When the group is created, the system generates a default Welcome notice. You can edit the default notice to personalize it for your group.

You can create multiple Welcome notices and set each one to Active Message so they are all sent automatically. If you have multiple Welcome notices set to Active Message, the system sends them all at the same time (within the same second or two).

Note: Due to the vagaries of email delivery, there is no way to guarantee the order in which multiple notices are delivered.
