Comments.Text: Thanks Pete. I think CiviRules could do it. In terms of customising webform email content based on conditions, it can be done by putting the variable content into hidden fields in the form and adding the token for the hidden field in the email.

  When someone signs up to a Civi mailing list group through a profile or webform, they get sent the default automated subscription confirmation message.
  
  Is there any way of customising that message such that different messages can be sent based on the group/s that are being signed up to?
