By default, Honeycommb networks send a transactional (automated) email to every new, approved (private networks) member that successfully registers. Network admins can customize this feature In the Onboarding section of the Control Center.

Public "Open" Networks

The New Member Welcome Email is sent to members once they've successfully completed registration by creating a username and password, the last step in registration after email confirmation.

Closed "Private" Networks

The New Member Welcome Email is sent to a member once an administrator of the network approves the member's registration.

The New Member Welcome Email is sent once the administrator successfully creates the member in Control Center.
