Email Process re: Manually Approve Member Registration

[jessesmithproductions]

Hello,

I have “Manually Approve Member Registration” checked so I can monitor who wants to sign up. Currently, when someone registers, they enter a free two-week membership, after which they can pay to continue.

When someone registers, I get the notification email so I can change their status to “Active” in “Manage Members”. And they simultaneously get a “Your registration is now complete!” email confirming their User Name and Password. They think they can now sign in – but they can’t, until I activate them, which might be hours after they receive their “Your registration is now complete!” email.

Is there a way to delay triggering this email until I change their status to “Active”?

Thanks.

One suggestion is that you can modify the wording of the email so that it explains to your prospective members that their membership will be activated after a review process.

You can send a quick notify email to your member when you are changing his/her account status. This way they will know when their account is active for example. Look for the following checkbox when you are editing a member profile:

Send a Notification to the User
