Question

All of my users will be unapproved until they are approved by an admin, the admin will be logging into the site to mark the user as approved. I am following the Devise docs here which is working out great but how do I send an email to the admin once a new user has signed up so that the admin is aware and can approve the sign up?

Answer 1

How about in your User model, do something like this:

after_create :send_admin_mail
def send_admin_mail
   ###Send email stuff here
end

You may want to use ActionMailer.

There may be some built in Devise way, but I can’t find anything. This basically just sends an alert to you.
