The users are notified when enrolled into the course. Not when enrolled into the cohort. Which solves your problem. The users will get the message from a new course when you add the enrollment instance for an existing cohort and they get enrolled. You turn on the email message and configure it within the enrol instance you create.
Important: the message is only send when the setting in the enrolment instance is set in the moment they get enrolled. If you turn the setting on later, already enrolled users will get no message. The action of enrol start the email process when config is set.
The message is only within this enrolment method. Manual enrolment into course is not influenced by this plugin.
Hi,
i am looking for a solution to notify users when they are enrolled into a course. We use cohort sync and manual enrollment. We do not allow users to self enroll. I have downloaded this plugin to try, but does it send a notification to the user only when they are added to a cohort? If so, this will not solve my problem - What if a course is added to the cohort at a later date - will they user receive another email? I also have the manual enrollment issue too. If anyone has an idea, please let me know....... Thanks, Dan
We got it done earlier. Tested in 3.3 now. Works without problems.
We did not test it yet for 3.3. You can test it on your own or wait for new version. We will take a look at it in the middle of the next month.
Does this work in Moodle 3.3?

Many thanks, Benjamin. I could do it and it works perfect. It would be ideal that in future versions the message can be edited in HTML.
Excellent work. Regards!
Hi, in website-administration / plugins / enrolments / manage enrolments you find a table of the enrolment plugins and settings. There you have the option 'enable' within the table. The button is an eye symbol (activiated) or an eye crossed with a line(deactivated). You can activate/deactivate it by click on the eye symbol.

Hello Benjamin, thanks for the plugin. The installation worked perfectly, but in the list of external extensions I appear disabled and I do not know how to enable the extension. Do you know how it can be done? Thank you very much.
New version is out.
Hoi Benjamin, thx for the reply. I will wait with updating the site till the new version is uploaded.
We already are in testing phase for a 3.1 Version of the Plugin. It will be rebased on the 3.1 cohort core enrolment. We will upload this as soon as the tests are through.
Hello, i updated the moodle site to version 3.1. I get know the next error: The following plugins in your system are using Events 1 API deprecated handlers: 'enrol_elediacohortgreeting'. Please, update them to use Events 2 API. See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Event_2#Event_dispatching_and_observers. How can i fix this issue?
Thanx Benjamin for the answer. What you subscribe is exact what i want. The plugin of Moodle Welcome has a HTML format editor.
Well at the moment the Plugin uses a simple text field for the email Text. What you ask for would need an editor field which would allow you to use HTML format and even insert pictures. Nice idea for a future version but not supported now.
Hello, Is it possible to send a picture in the email. I would like to send a footer in the email with our company logo. Is it also possible to change the font of the text, and the color? Can i do this in de Course greeting text, or in the database?
