Welcome email to student when enrolling using external db sync

Number of replies: 4

I have the external database enrolment setup, and the sync job running, and everything seems to work, but what I need to happen is a notification being sent to the student to tell them to take the course.

I have searched in the admin settings, and searched the forums, but I can't seem to find out how to make that happen.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi Rob - did you ever solve this? There appears to be no option with external databae to enable welcome message sending but there is this option for manual methods\enrolment?

 

Would appreciate any input on this. Moodle verson 2.53.

I found a solution. it related to the setting for password. I had it set to open format from external database. Once I changed it to internal from the Moodle it righted itself and the mails started to issue. Conclusion: Moodle can only\will only issue enrolment \ welcome mail if it controls the password operation.

I am trying to accomplish the same thing - email the students when they are externally enrolled from our database. Has a solution been found? I can't find anything about the password help suggested.
