  • Is it possible to create a Zap to send a welcome message to a new user instead of to me?

I can’t seem to figure out how to send the welcome message to the new user. Right now it’s sending it to me, not the new user… Here’s what I am working with:

I click to edit the second step “2. Send a welcome message”

but it only shows existing users… there is no “new user” option… 

Hi @kylie3

Hi Troy! Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your patience.

It is still unclear to me how to set this up so any new user in the workspace will receive the welcome message… Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks a million, Troy! It’s working now :) 

That’s awesome @kylie3! A huge thanks to Troy for lending a hand here!

Happy Zapping!⚡️
