The Portal Administrator can enable e-mail notification about membership requests. With this functionality enabled, members would receive an e-mail notifying them when their membership request is either approved or declined. You can do this by creating a Scenario based on the Membership Approved and Membership Declined events, which are generated when the Community Leader accepts or declines a membership request.
If you only need a simple e-mail notification, you can use the ACC to enable membership requests by e-mail, using the following procedure:
Open the ACC.
Select Pages and Components, followed by Components by Path.
Navigate to the
/atg/portal/admin/CommunityPrincipalFormHandler.Select the
sendUserEmailproperty and set the value totrue. Note that by default this property is set to point to thesendUserEmailproperty in/atg/portal/framework/Configuration, so you could also set this property in theConfigurationcomponent.Specify text strings for the
requestEmailSubject,preMessage,postAcceptedMessage, andpostDeclinedMessageproperties.The
requestEmailSubjectstring appears in the e-mail’s Subject line; thepreMessagestring appears before the community name, thepostAcceptedMessagestring appears after the community name when the membership request is accepted; and thepostDeclinedMessageappears after the community name when the membership request is declined. For example, when these properties are concatenated and the community name is included, the message might read: “Your membership request for the Tennis community has been approved.”Make sure the
emailerandemailSenderAddressproperties are set properly.Click Save.
