(Made for WPMU) When a new users signs up at your site, you want to welcome them, and this plugin allows you to do that extra well by sending automatic welcome emails for several days after they have joined.
You’ll probably have noticed that when you sign up for a really great service, you don’t just get a single ‘welcome’ email – but you also get several ‘follow up’ emails, over the course of the next few days/weeks letting you know all about their features, how you can use the site and offering you support and assistance.

Well, that’s exactly what we wanted for blogs.mu and so we developed it… and are now handing it over to you!

This plugin allows you to send out ‘messages’ i.e. emails at predetermined times based on when the user signed up.

Designed to keep your new users engaged, supported and interested in your site!

About Actions and Emails

Each email you can schedule to send to users is called an action. You can schedule actions (emails) to be sent over a series of days after a person has created a new username or a new blog.

For example on blogs.mu emails are scheduled to be sent to new site owners as follows:

Here is what the “How’s it going with your new Blogs.mu site?” message looks like:

Add actions as follows:

• 1. Go to Site Admin > Messages and scroll down to Add Action
• 2. Select whether the action is for when a new user is created or a new blog is created i.e. do you want an email sent when a username is created or a new blog is created?

3. Select the time delay after the username or blog is created that you want the email sent.

4. Insert the message subject i.e. this appears in the email’s subject line.

5. Write your message i.e. this appears in the body of the email.

6. Click Add Action
NOTE:
1. Actions for:
* Create new blog – appear under Site level actions
* Create new user – appear under Blog level Actions
2. If you hover your mouse over the title of an Action it brings up the menu for that action and you can edit the message.

You can set each message to:

1. Go out x days after an event e.g. x days after a new blog is created
2. Differentiate between actions like creating a new blog, and creating a new user.

What’s more, you can even personalise each email using the following dynamic info: %blogname% %blogurl% %username% %usernicename% %sitename% %siteurl% %systemname% %systemurl%
