Apart from automating a "welcome" script, you might also consider informing your users when new functionality is rolled out, or simply remind them about some features exist. There's a built-in "wizard" as part of the O365 Admin portal that lets you do that: https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/iwwizard

HI Vasil Michev,
Tx for your prompt reply. This is really a great feature, just discovered it now.
Do you know if MS will provide more of these 'Ready to send messages' ?
Today I notice a RtSM for Teams, any chance we can expect RtSMs for Stream, Planner, Sway, and other future apps?

  Hi all,
  
  thanks for your feedback. We're indeed currently working on how to improve the "to user email capabilities" that we have in the admin center and to make this feature more discoverable to admins as well. If you have feedback in general on how you would like to see this fucntionality improve and evolve, please let us know.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Anne
