Site Members: Customizing the Member Approval Email

3 min read
Customize the email that new site members receive when you approve their membership requests. When you approve a new member's request, they receive a default email to let them know. 
You can tailor this email to match your style and brand. Add images, change the text, and use dynamic values for a more personalized touch. Learn more about customizing automated emails.
An example of the email members receive when their membership is approved.
Important:
  • To use this feature, you must have your Signup & Login Security settings set to Only people I manually approve. No approval email is sent if this setting is turned off.  
  • Using a domain-based email for the sender details is recommended as there are limitations with the sender details of free email services (e.g. Gmail, yahoo). 

To customize your member approval email:

  1. Go to Automations in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the Installed for you tab. 
  3. Find the automation titled Let site members know they’re approved.
