Ruby on Rails - Devise send user email a welcome message with login credentials
0
After creating a user by admin, a welcome mail should be sent to the user's email address with login credentials i.e. username (user's email) and password.
Can you help me in the smtp settings as well?
Thank You!

This is typically a bad idea. Not always, but usually. Presumably you want the admin to change their password after first logging in (otherwise their password is in plain-text in an email!!) -- which begs the question, why bother sending them a password in the first place? By default, devise will send a link with an "invitation token" which only grants initial login once, and then requires the user to set a password.

Emailing passwords to users in plain text is not a great security practice. You should consider creating a random password for the user, then using Devise's recoverable module to generate a password reset token. You can then send the user a link to a page that allows them to create their own password using the devise token.

I needed this functionality once and got it working by creating a method in my mailer
def welcome_email(user,password)
@user = user
@password = password
mail(to: @user.email, subject: 'Welcome Email')
end
In my welcome_email.html.erb :
<p>Dear <%= @user.name %>,</p>
<p> Welcome to this site. Your account has successfully been created. </p>
<p> Please Login to your account</a> using these credentials: </p>
<ul>
<li>Username: <%= @user.email %></li>
<li>Password: <%= @password %></li>
</ul>
And call this method from your devise users/registration_controller in create action after creating the user.
MyMailer.welcome_email(resource,params[:user][:password]).deliver_later
you might have to change the code according to your needs, but you'll get an idea as from where to start.
