User Accounts and New User Welcome¶

Customize New User Welcome Email

Every database will have a default New User Welcome Email that you send to give users their username and a link to set their password. Your System Admin will probably want to customize that email for your church.

Step 1

Go to Admin > Communication > Email Templates and find the template named NewUserWelcome.

Step 2

Click the link for NewUserWelcome. This will open the editor where you can modify the email. When finished, click the Save Template button.

Sample

Below is an sample of a New User Welcome email. In order to give the new user what they need, you must include these email replacement codes:

• {username}

• {link}

• {cmshost}

Hi {name},
You now have a new user account on TouchPoint, our church's Church Management System.

Your username is: {username}
Click this link to create your password: {link}

NOTE: If these links do not appear as links, copy and paste them into your browser.

You can access the site anytime using this link: {cmshost}

Welcome,

Church Staff

When you save your email, it will replace the default New User Welcome email.

Users

When you create a new user, be sure to click the Send Welcome Email? box so they will receive the New User Welcome.
