How to create Fluent Community users without sending the default ugly WordPress email?
Hi everyone 👋
I’m currently selling access to my community through an external automation in Make.com.
When a purchase happens, the automation creates a contact in FluentCRM and assigns the relevant tags, which then automatically unlock specific Spaces and Courses in Fluent Community.
So far, so good — but here’s the issue:
In order for that new member to actually log in, I also need to create a WordPress user.
The problem is that WordPress then sends that ugly default email with the backend login link — which is confusing for my clients and doesn’t look professional.
Ideally, I’d like to stay completely within FluentTools:
- When a new contact is created in FluentCRM and gets access to Fluent Community,
- an email with clean login details (and a direct link to the community portal, not wp-admin)
- should automatically be sent — without relying on the default WordPress email system.
Right now, I’m using a third-party workaround, but I’m sure there must be a cleaner, Fluent-native way to do this.
👉 Question:
Is there a way within FluentCRM + Fluent Community to automatically create a user and send custom login credentials — without triggering the default WordPress new user email and without exposing the backend link?
Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas! 🙏
Martina Aysal Aysal Coaching&Consulting GmbH it might be worth checking out FluentAuth - with it you can customise system emails like the new user created email you're mentioning here.
Alternatively, you could create a FluentCRM automation that triggers upon user account creation and sends a custom email, then use this hook to disable the default notification email:
add_filter('wp_send_new_user_notification_to_user', '__return_false');
If you have fluentforms with user registrations active you can also auto login the user.
I use the "LoginPress"-Plugin, which styles your default wordpress-loginpages. Additionally, I send automation e-mails through FluentCRM and use placeholders. After sending the user to the password recovery, they are redirected to the community. For that, I use a short code-snippet in my functions.php. But it would be nice, to have an inbuild solution.
Max Davis Good idea. The default wordpress and community login pages are poor and clunky. The dropdown or popup option always cleaner. I should use more of the FluentCRM automation tools as well.
Let me ask: Does every Community Member need a wordpress user?
