Answers.Body: <p>You're better off doing this with a CiviCRM extension rather than a WordPress plugin.  I wrote an extension that does this (amongst other things) a while back.

  <p>I just created a new branch called "automatic email only" where I stripped out all the code that's not relevant to this question.</p>
  
  <p>You'll need to customize this extension a bit to only fire when people join a certain group(s).  It will send the "Welcome" automated message at <strong>Mailings menu > Headers, Footers, and Automated Messages</strong>.</p>

Answers.Text: Thanks. I don't have much/any experience with extensions. I can see the branch 'automatic email only' but don't know what to do with it.

Body: <p>I have a sign up form that adds users to a group- essentially a mailing list which also saves other information about the subscriber. It's a civiCRM 'profile' form.</p>
  
  <p>This all works OK. A user adds their information to the form and their information is saved in a group called members. Now my client would like to automatically email them when a new user signs up. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this 'out of the box'.
