No email after importing user

Hello @1jd123

I suggest you contact WP All Import support as we are not sure if import triggers actions related to user registration or not.

Dear Aswin,

I have had contact with the WP All Import Support and they mentioned this
https://docs.ultimatemember.com/
1. WP All import allows php custom code for every imported user. Is there any way to grab some UM Hooks to send the activation and welcome mail? This is really important for me.

2. When a user does his registration in the frontend of our website he will receive a welcome mail which is specific to frontend registration. Is there any way to send another welcome mail to someone who is imported in the backend? The imported users do need the password reset link.

BEst

You can create a custom email template for the imported users
and add the set password placeholder.

Read these guides:

Hello Missveronica,

I am already using these two functions but these aren’t the issue.
The issue is, that the imported users dont get an activation e-mail after they were imported. So what I need is a hook or like custom code which automatically sent the activation mail after a user was imported. After the user then activated his account, the user should get a mail with his access data including the set password link. The issue here is, that the imported user does have the same role as the frontend user so how can I sent the imported user a different mail as the frontend user?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Jannis

So to be more specific I need the following:
1. I need a hook to send the activation e-mail to a user.
2. I need a way to write a different welcome email to imported users after activation, even though they are in the same role as non-imported users.

1. I need a hook to send the activation e-mail to a user.

Yes you need a hook in the import plugin when a user has been added.

The import plugin is active during this user load and you must invite UM to send the email by calling:

UM()->mail()->send( $email, $template, $args );

Ask the import plugin support if there is a hook you can use.

Hello Missveronica,

thank you so much for getting back to me this quick.
I already asked the plugin team und they mentioned this:

add_action( 'pmxi_saved_post', 'my_custom_function', 10, 3 );

Since I am not that experienced in programming php is it correct if my function will look like this, where email is a variable and $template can be replaced by the name of $template like (group1_approved_email):

my_custom_function($email){
UM()->mail()->send( $email, $template, $args );
}

Thank you soooo much in advance for your help. You are awesome

@1jd123

Can you try to get the documentation for the hook including the three parameters.

Dear Missveronica,

Here is the documentation: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/action-reference/

Best,

https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/code-snippets/Here is another sample, the first one.

@1jd123

You can try this code snippet.

Two templates one for approval of a new user account,
the second if updating an existing user account.

add_action( 'pmxi_saved_post', 'pmxi_saved_post_um_custom_function', 10, 3 );

function pmxi_saved_post_um_custom_function( $user_id, $xml_node, $is_update ) {

    if ( ! class_exists( 'UM' ) ) return;
    um_fetch_user( $user_id );

    if( ! $is_update ) {
        UM()->mail()->send( um_user( 'user_email' ), 'group1_approved_email' );
    } else {
        UM()->mail()->send( um_user( 'user_email' ), 'group1_updated_email' );
    }
}

Jello Missveronica,

thank you so much! Now I am able to get mails but neither the account activation link nor the password reset link is generated.

Best,

Jannis

An updated code snippet now with these placeholders:
{account_activation_link}, {password_reset_link}, {set_password_link}

https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1693-set-password-on-email-activation

add_action( 'pmxi_saved_post', 'pmxi_saved_post_um_custom_function', 10, 3 );

function pmxi_saved_post_um_custom_function( $user_id, $xml_node, $is_update ) {

    if ( ! class_exists( 'UM' )) return;
    if ( ! is_numeric( $user_id )) return;
    
    um_fetch_user( $user_id );

    $user_data = get_userdata( $user_id );
    $key       = UM()->user()->maybe_generate_password_reset_key( $user_data );

    $set_password_link = add_query_arg( array(  'set_pass' => 'new_user', 
                                                'act'      => 'reset_password', 
                                                'hash'     => $key, 
                                                'user_id'  => $user_id ), um_get_core_page( 'password-reset' ) );
    
    $args['tags'] = array(  '{account_activation_link}', 
                            '{password_reset_link}', 
                            '{set_password_link}' );

    $args['tags_replace'] = array(  um_user( 'account_activation_link' ), 
                                    um_user( 'password_reset_link' ),
                                    $set_password_link,
                                );
    if( ! $is_update ) {
        UM()->mail()->send( um_user( 'user_email' ), 'group1_approved_email', $args );
    } else {
        UM()->mail()->send( um_user( 'user_email' ), 'group1_updated_email', $args );
    }
}
