I want to add users to a google group and then have them receive the standard welcome message of the group.  I know how to add them to the group but the email part has me stumped.  Here is my commande to add to group:
`gam update group `na...@domain.com add member file users.csv`

How to I add the email part to this command

Don;

AFAIK there is no way to send a welcome message via GAM.  You could use the GAM sendemail command as a separate operation to accomplish your goal. See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Send-Email#send-an-email

Don;

No, it will have to be two separate gam commands.  The first command to add members, the second to send the emails.

I can add the users and I can send an email as individual commands - is there a way to combine both into one command?  I tried a ";" in between but that did not work
