Re: Custom Invite Question

 

Hi Cindy,

I think giving reasons for asking if there is a way to do that has caused a lot of commotion, a lot of discussion, a lot of debating. I don't know whether the moderators here think that is good or bad as a result.
Generally speaking we're fine with discussing alternative ways to achieve a desired result and their pros and cons. That kind of brainstorming can be helpful to other readers as well as to the original poster.

So given the no you cant take that out answer, I'm just going to hope that the people actually read what I have written ...
One thing that might help, and maybe you've already found it, is the Horizontal line button in the second row of the formatting toolbar.

I've found that putting the group's customized text inside lines can help draw the invitee's attention.

I think this technique also helps draw attention away from the boilerplate text by clearly separating it from the customized text.
Our IO group is set to subscribers require approval.? And IO is assuming we sent the invite to someone we already approve.? If you check on the link you provided for pending subscription notice, it says you cant use it with an invitation.
The Pending Subscription notice won't be sent if the invitee accepts the invitation, but it will be sent if the recipient uses the home page button or the +subscribe command to join on their own. Presumably your are instructing them to use one of those two methods.

Note that there are two ways for the recipient to accept the invitation: they can click the link in the boilerplate or simply reply to the invitation by email. If you look at the invitation as received you will notice that the From address is specially coded to accomplish the acceptance for that particular invitee.
