Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this when you want to control the email sent to a contact after they complete a Membership offer checkout and receive login credentials.

How Membership Welcome Emails Work in Kyrios

Kyrios can send Membership login credentials using:

  • A system-generated email configured in Membership settings, or

  • A custom Workflow email triggered on new signup

Only one method should be active at a time to avoid duplicate emails.

Option 1: Customize the System-Generated Welcome Email (Membership Settings)

This option sends an automatic email immediately after checkout using a selected email template.

Step 1: Open Membership Email Settings

  1. Go to Communities & Memberships.

  2. Click Courses.

  3. Open Settings from the dropdown.

  4. Select Email Settings.

Step 2: Enable the Welcome Email

  1. Under Sign-up, toggle Send Welcome Email ON.

  2. Click the Default Template button to open template selection.

Step 3: Select an Email Template

  1. Choose a template from the Select Template dropdown.

  2. Click Save.

Important Notes

  • The Default Template cannot be viewed or edited directly.

  • To customize content, you must create your own email template using the Email Builder.

  • This email automatically includes login credentials.

Option 2: Send a Customized Welcome Email Using a Workflow

This option provides full control over content, layout, and custom values.

Step 1: Open Workflows

  1. Go to Automations & Workflows.

  2. Click Workflows.

  3. Click Create Workflow or edit an existing one.

Step 2: Add the “New Signup” Trigger

  1. Click Add New Trigger.

  2. Select New Signup.

  3. Apply filters if needed (for example: Offer = Memberships).

  4. Save the trigger.

Step 3: Add a Send Email Action

  1. Click Add Action.

  2. Select Send Email.

Step 4: Configure the Email Action

  1. Enter:

    • From Name

    • From Email

    • Subject

  2. Choose a template or write custom content.

  3. Save the action.

Step 5: Insert Membership Custom Values

  1. In the email editor, open Custom Values.

  2. Scroll to the Membership Contacts section.

  3. Insert:

    • Member Email

    • Member Password

    • Login URL (Magic Link), if needed

These values automatically populate credentials for the contact.

Required Setting When Using a Workflow

If you use Option 2, you must disable the system-generated email.

Disable the System Email

  1. Return to Membership Email Settings.

  2. Toggle Send Welcome Email OFF.

This prevents duplicate welcome emails.
