Hi Bas,
Since there is no other plugin which can provide custom profile fields to the welcom message, i've tried this plugin with 3.9. Does it have to be updated to get it to work in the latest Moodle versions?

Hello, is it possible to configure the message in multiple languages, so the new user will receive a message on the language that he/she used when created a new account?

Hello. Thank you for your plugin. It seems that it is very usefull. But after installing in moodle 10.4 it is not working. I guess I tested also in 3.9 and it is not working again.
If it is possible, please update it to latest version.
Many many thanks

Hi, great plugin! Works ok on 3.11. Is there any way to send a welcome message on course enrolment for existing Moodle users? Most of ours already have accounts but enrol on new courses each year and we want to use it to send them details of new course. Thanks.

Hi, first, thank you for that plugin

I have the follwoing use case: I would like to contain in the mail to all organizer the information WHO has added the user and to WHICH COURSE the user in enrolled and in which GROUP within this course. Is there a possibility to implement this use case with the plugin? If not, is there a possibility to extend the plugin to suppurt this use case?

Is this an active and regularly updated plug-in? I’m seeing the last update was a year ago.

Hi, your plugin is good, however it should send email after the user is confirmed in moodle, currently it send the email when the registration is done, is it possible once the user status is confirmed, then only it should send email ?
