#Does Overseerr send welcome emails to new users?

I've added a couple of users, one local & one imported from Plex, but neither of them got welcome emails. I'm running on a seedbox with the URL set correctly & email notifications enabled. Test emails work fine. Is there a setting I'm missing that will trigger an email when a user is created?

No welcome emails unfortunately. Notifications are sent for the events you can see on the notification page under settings

Interesting. The reason I ask is because when testing I set up a temp user with an alternate email that I use (e.g. different from my admin email), and that address received the email below. When I set up other users they didn't get anything. I can't figure out why the diff and in thinking about inviting non-techies as local users these would be useful in providing a link to my Overseerr instance.

Ah, that's for local users since without that you'd have to message your users their login info

#

For users who log in with Plex, they don't have any other login info required; they just login with their Plex account

Thanks, makes sense for the Plex user - though an invite would be a nice touch with a link to the instances. Of the other users I set up one was local to Overseerr (Home user, no separate Plex account) & the other was imported from Plex into Overseerr (has a separate Plex account). Should the local user have received an email?

If you didn't manually set a password for that local user, yep
