How can I send a welcome email to newly registered users in Rails using Devise?

[Volkan Unsal]

I am using Devise on Rails and I'm wondering if there is a hook or a
filter that I can use to add a bit of code to Devise's user
registration process and send a welcome email to the user after an
account has been created.

I believe this has been discussed on the list several times. Just do a search, and you should find a solution.

I'm using Mongoid, though. ActiveRecord::Observer is throwing an error
for me.

It would be great if there were a non-ActiveRecord dependent way of
hooking into the registration process.

i dont think that there is problem in devise, but if you can provide sample app (on github) it will be great.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. I think I found another way,
though.

class User
include Mongoid::Document
# Include default devise modules. Others available are:
# :token_authenticatable, :confirmable, :lockable and :timeoutable
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

after_create :send_activation_mail
def send_activation_mail
Contact.welcome_email.deliver
end
...

end

This appears to be working as far as I can tell.

I wonder if you know how I can get a reference to the newly created
user class from inside the class? i tried self

Contact.welcome_email(self).deliver

Also..thanks for all your help so far. :-)

To the class? Isn't that User?

self is the current user in your case. self.class would return the User class.
