# new-member template

This email is sent to new members after their account is created on PageSeeder.

## Email headers

This message sets the following headers by default:

| Name | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `Auto-submitted` | `auto-generated` |
| `From` | Inviter or PageSeeder, see [From address](../from.md) |
| `Subject` | `Welcome to PageSeeder` |
| `To` | Email address of new member |

## XML

PageSeeder produces the following XML for the XSLT template.:

```xml

<notification template="new-member"
              emaildomain="example.org"
              hosturl="https://example.org"
              token="Kiwp8Vs7_fw-I2oOg47z_AdjqLh1e89">

  <!-- The new member -->
  <member id="12"
          firstname="John"
          lastname="Jones"
          email="jjones@email.com"
          status="activated">
    <fullname>John Jones</fullname>
  </member>

  <!-- If the member was created by another member only -->
  <inviter id="77"
           firstname="Alice"
           surname="Thomson"
           email="athomson@example.org"
           username="athomson">
    <fullname>Alice Thomson</fullname>
  </inviter>

</notification>
```

The `token` attribute is a base64url string that is different from the key and shouldn’t require URL-escaping.

> **Obsolete:** The `password` and `key` attributes are no longer included in the message. PageSeeder never discloses passwords by email.

## Usual content
