Creating user through REST doesn't trigger welcome email

Creating user through REST doesn't trigger welcome email

This question has suggested answer(s)

I'm using REST to create new users to our community, but the welcome email does not get generated when I do so through REST, only when we add users directly through the Membership administration.  The only difference between the two is that when I do so through REST, I'm also populating various profile fields.  Otherwise, the user gets created just fine either way, it's just that the welcome email does not get generated.  Any ideas what would short-circuit that when created via REST?

  • Sure thing Dan. I'll set you up with the latest hotfix download.

  • Gentlemen, the Community 6.x/Enterprise 3.x API documentation (In-Process API, Plugin API, REST API, and widget API) is now updated. You can find the 6.1 version of the Create a User REST endpoint here. It now includes the SendEmail parameter.

    Thanks to Ben and Dan for generating this information so quickly.
