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
sendUserEmail
property and set the value totrue
. Note that by default this property is set to point to thesendUserEmail
property in/atg/portal/framework/Configuration
, so you could also set this property in theConfiguration
component.Specify text strings for the
requestEmailSubject
,preMessage
,postAcceptedMessage
, andpostDeclinedMessage
properties.The
requestEmailSubject
string appears in the e-mail’s Subject line; thepreMessage
string appears before the community name, thepostAcceptedMessage
string appears after the community name when the membership request is accepted; and thepostDeclinedMessage
appears 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
emailer
andemailSenderAddress
properties are set properly.Click Save.
