I know that I can use GAM to bulk-create new user accounts:

gam csv gsheet <username> id <sheetID> update gam create user ~username ou ~ou firstname ~firstname lastname ~lastname password ~password changepassword true notify ~persemail subject '[School Name] #domain# Google Account for #givenname# #familyname#' ghtml <from account> id <html_templateID> html true

I have an HTML template document included at the end of that statement which is a custom Welcome Message I send to the new user's personal email. It works great.

My question is: while this is a great workflow, is there any way to change the default Welcome Email sent upon creating a single account in the Admin Portal? Because creating a CSV and using GAM to create a single new User Account is overkill.

It doesn't need to be done via csv

gam create user new...@school.com ou /staff firstname "New User First Name" lastname "New User Last Name" password pizza1234 changepassword true notify us...@gmail.com subject '[School Name] #domain# Google Account for #givenname# #familyname#' ghtml <from account> id <html_templateID> html true

I understand... but still, for a single user, the Dashboard is pretty easy. I'd like to just replace the default message and be done with it.

There is no such setting.
