I have seen this posted a couple of times, but all the threads are locked and buried (so can't bump them etc...).

Mailing lists have the option to add a Welcome mail so when a player joins they get sent a mail which can contain useful information etc... Often corps send out welcome mails whenever a new person joins, however this can get tiring and relies on a 'recruitment officer' to send the mail manually. For bigger corps, such as RvB this must be annoying and I know I would much prefer it if it could be automated.

Members already get mails/notifications when they are accepted into a corp, and Welcome Mails already exist for Mailing Lists, so hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to add Welcome Mails for when someone joins a corp.

Implementation:


  • Add a new tab to the Recruitment tab in the Corp Management UI named Welcome Mail.
  • People with the Personnel Manager or Communications Officer role have the rights to change this mail.
  • The ability to link characters, Systems, Stations and URLs (URLs you can't link from the standard right click --> Autolink option).


Edit: This should be coming in with Retribution 1.1!

Being one of those with Nutbolt's corp. that helps out with recruitment I have to agree that this is a good idea. I forget every time (except this last time where I did because I had a light bulb moment) and it's a pain. Having this implemented would not only avoid new membes being missed but also ensure that the recruitment team has the same version of welcome mail to avoid errors.

So...let's get this implemented please CCP! Smile

I've never been a recruiting officer for anything significant, but I can definitely see where this would be useful.

T-Up.

Even though I have not really changed my corporations much (in fact, technically I never left the people I started with when I began playing eve) don't know why we don't have that in the first place. Would make life a lot easier. Having to repeatedly tell people the same basic introductions in corp chat, referring them to corp bulletins (which really is not the place for this) - just doesn't work well.

I want Corporation Welcome Mails!



And o/ from BPA to SRA!

Agreed!

This would definitely help out when accepting newer pilots. Not only as a welcome packet but as a quick reference guide as well.(When information links are added)

Great Idea Nutbolt!

RvB gets hundreds of apps weekly. This is a no brainer. +1.

It is a great idea.

Excellent idea +1

And while you're at it, add the function to alliance mail too.
Maybe the option to make mails "stickies" so a small selection of mails with important info can be sent to both new corp and alliance members.
