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

Hi Anne, we have the same requirements as Joe:
- option to automatically sent to new users (per template)
- customize the message
- availability of templates for the main new features/applications
- add our own templates (like Welcome msg)

Hi Anne,

Sure - here is my feedback:
Currently the new email templates are on demand only. It would be ideal if those can be triggered to be send for any new employee.
It would also be great if we can customize the templates or create our own that are then sent to new employees automatically.
Thanks,
Joe
