feat: support configuring a welcome email on lists.

[chirino]

This welcome template will be used to send a welcome email to new list members once the subscription is confirmed (if confirmation is required).

[knadh]

Thank you for the PR @chirino. This feature request has been pending for a long time: #206

However, the feature shouldn't be specific to welcome responses, but should be based on events.

• Subscribe
• Opt-in
• Unsubscribe
• Blocklist

It should be configurable from a new Lists -> Autoresponse menu.

If you're able to amend the PR, that's great. Otherwise, I'll hold off on this for now and try to incorporate this when I find time. Thanks again.

In terms of db modeling what were you thinking?

@knadh, @chirino, any news on getting this PR merged in? Been using a very hacky workaround for my listmonk instance to add welcome messages, and I'd love to upgrade to a kosher version.

Hi @joerosenthal. Unfortunately, this PR/idea will have to wait for a bit. I've been working on adding multi-user support (https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/tree/multiuser) which is a massive, critical change for v4.0.0. Can only consider bigger features that require planning once multi-user is merged.

is this supported yet?

this feature is the one thing keeping me from upgrading from my old modified version of listmonk. Would love to just have my mailing list send an email out when someone joins without having to modify the codebase myself again.

@knadh is there any plan to have this featured? As many users, we're doing our own forks and custom implementations to support a similar feature, which is kinda contra productive

Unfortunately, I have not been able to consider this for the upcoming v5.0.0 release, which has significant (and massive) changes. Event based e-mail triggers can be considered for the release after that.

To clarify, I'm specifically interested in users just receiving email saying that they've joined my mailing list. Currently, listmonk does email users to confirm the subscription, if subscriptions have to be confirmed. I'm basically looking to do that, but for cases where the subscription does not have to be confirmed. I more or less modified my v1 listmonk instance to do that.

Not stale

[joerosenthal]

Just here to say, I'd still love this feature. I'm on v2.0.0 still, since my build is hacked to send a welcome email.

[chirino]

Any updates on when something like this will make into main?

Following up on this. Is this still planned for the next release? I'd say having a welcome email send out on sign up is a requirement for me, but I'd love to get up to date on the latest version of listmonk once it's implemented.

Would like to upvote this topic as well!
I want to send out a welcome email with a PDF a after successfully subscribing to a certain list. Currently this involves some additional backend jobs. Would be great to have it integrated ❤️

Thanks for your work!

I just requested something similar (#2693) but would be happy to build a custom binary and test this one. Unfortunately it has conflicts.

Think this would solve the issue for me.
