Abdulmuizz HamzatandRotimi Best b599f1a017 chore(docs): migrate the docs site from Fumadocs to Blume (#753)
* Update documentation for ClassroomIO: change Fumadocs to Blume, revise MDX format conventions, and clarify sidebar navigation requirements.

* docs: update README and scripts for improved preview and error handling

* docs: update Discord link in configuration and documentation

* docs: add token-auth route and update documentation formatting

* Fix formatting in auto-comment-issues.yml

* Fix JSON syntax by adding a comma

* fix(docs): declare Blume's Astro build deps so Cloudflare build resolves them

blume build generates an Astro project under apps/docs/.blume/ that imports
astro, @astrojs/mdx, @tailwindcss/vite, tailwindcss, @tailwindcss/typography,
@shikijs/twoslash and @scalar/astro. Under pnpm's isolated node_modules these
are nested inside blume and not resolvable from the docs app, so a clean
--frozen-lockfile build (Cloudflare) fails at 'Cannot find module astro/config'.
Declare them directly in @cio/docs, pinned to blume's resolved versions.

* refactor(docs): update API reference paths and documentation for clarity

* fix: change platofrm url to docs home page

  community, course, enterprise-sso, mcp, organization, quickstart/*).
- Rename home.mdx to index.mdx.
- Update package-assets script to emit redirects for the old guides paths.

title: Customize the Welcome Email
description: Write a custom message that students receive automatically when they enroll in a course.
---
Every course can send a personalized welcome email when a student enrolls. Use it to greet students, share what to
expect, or include a link such as a live session URL.
## Write the welcome message
<Steps>
<Step>
### Open course settings
Go to the course's **Settings** tab and find the **Welcome email** section.
</Step>
<Step>
### Compose your message
Write your message in the rich-text editor. You can format text and add links, for example a welcome note plus your live
session join link.
</Step>
<Step>
### Save
Save the course settings. Your message is now used for new enrollments.
</Step>
</Steps>

## How it sends
The welcome email goes out automatically whenever a student enrolls, whether they self-enroll, accept an invite, or are
added from the audience. Your message appears in the email above the standard "Sign in to the LMS" link.
:::info
Leave the **Welcome email** blank to use ClassroomIO's default welcome message. Formatting is cleaned for safe email
delivery, so some advanced styling may be simplified.
:::
## Live class courses: automatic session invite
For a **Live class** course with a scheduled session, the welcome email also attaches a calendar invite for the next
session, so students can add it to their calendar the moment they enroll. You do not set this up here; it is pulled from
the session you scheduled on the lesson. See [Run a Live Class](/guides/live-class).
