Need to send mass invitations or updates to existing users

jtAx - April 28, 2009 - 12:10

I need to send invitations to sign onto my site to a very large list of users that I have already created accounts for. I've looked at several potential modules and I am not sure if any of them will handle this.

Here is the situation:
Users are already set up with an account and have a user name and password assigned

I want to designate a list of users (or import the email addresses) to send an invitation to.... inviting them them to sign on for the first time

The email I send to each of them needs to pull their existing user name and password into the email.

I looked at the email option within user_import, and it sends the correct fields, but I only want to send out a selected number of invitations at a time AND the user accounts are already set up.

Any recommendations?

which version of drupal you use?

if drupal 5

i recommend to go through the documentation of http://drupal.org/project/inactive_user. it may fulfill your needs.

Thanks,

I am using v5 , and inactive_user is VERY close to what I need to do.

But rather than sending the email to every inactive user, I want to limit it to a smaller subset (possibly a particular job class, or city, etc).

I am afraid I will have all kinds of issues if I turn the module loose to crank through and send out 20,000 emails.

If there is some way to define a group to send to..inactive_user would work
