Title: How to Send an Automated PM After Registration?
Post by: Paleus on July 09, 2015, 01:14:32 AM
I would like to be able to send an automated personal message from one of our accounts to every new member who registers. Ideally this would be a message sent 24 hours after they register as a kind of 'follow up' message.

Is something like this built into SMF by default? Would I need a module for this?

Thanks for any advice on this matter!

Did you know that sm.org has a "modifications" section?

What version of SMF are you enquiring about?

Please always provide full details when asking for advice ;)
2.0 is some years old. 2.0.10 is the most recent version in the 2.0.x line.

After some light testing, this mod generally works very well.
