How Do I Quickly Welcome New Members?

Welcoming new members each day is one of the simplest ways to help people feel recognized and connected from the moment they join your Mighty Network. A quick welcome message goes a long way in creating an inviting, active community.

Network Hosts and Network moderators can welcome new members at any time.

You’ll see a list of everyone who has joined since the last welcome was sent. When you tap Welcome New Members, each person receives a short note from you by email or push notification, depending on their individual notification settings.

You will see a list of every new member who has joined since the last time you welcomed new members.

After you tap on the button to welcome all new members, those members will receive a quick note from you either via email or push notification, depending on their notification preferences.

Here is what the push notification looks like:

Below is an example of the email notification your members will receive on web:

There are two ways to send a custom welcome message.

One is to leverage Automations. On the Growth Plan and up, you can create an Automation that triggers when someone joins your Mighty Network where the action is to send them a private message from any Host you choose.

You can also use Automations to have custom welcome messages when members join specific Spaces—so if they're joining a course, challenge, or subgroup you can have a different private message set up for there.

Another way to customize a welcome message is more manual, using filters on the member list. Simply filter by Date Joined (Latest)

The list will filter to show you the members that have joined recently. You can see the date they joined in the second to last column.

From there, you can select the members you would like to message. The bulk actions menu in the upper right corner will allow you to send a message to the selected members.

Hosts and Moderators of Networks or Spaces receive real-time notifications when members join! Hosts or Moderators can click the notification to see the profiles of the members. When many members are joining at once, the members will be grouped into one notification so as not to overwhelm the notification recipients.

Keep in mind that every Host can use this feature to welcome new members, and the count of new members that you see available to welcome will be unique for each Host. The welcome note comes from an individual Host, so it is possible for every Host to welcome new members. If you want to limit the number of welcomes a new member gets, you may want to designate just one Host to welcome new members daily so that your members don't get overwhelmed with notifications!

And if you want to give your new members even more opportunities to learn what your Mighty Network is all about, you can also add a Welcome Section for them to see at the top of the feed right after they join.

Note: Each new member will have a badge that says "New Member" on their profile. The badge will disappear after 7 days.
