Question

How can I send a welcome e-mail when a user registers to my service?

Also, how do I change the e-mails :from and :subject field from Devise?

Thanks

I did it by overriding devise’s confirm! method: https://gist.github.com/982181

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :invitable, :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, 
         :rememberable, :confirmable, :validatable, :encryptable

  # ...

  # devise confirm! method overriden
  def confirm!
    welcome_message
    super
  end

  # ...

private

  def welcome_message
    UserMailer.welcome_message(self).deliver
  end

end
