I’m using the Gravity Forms User Registration add-on with a BuddyBoss site and I would like to customize the user activation email and other emails. I’ve tried to create a notification on the sign up gravity form with the event “User is pending activation” but it doesn’t seem to be using this email. I’ve also tried to create an email template in BuddyBoss for the “Activate a new account” situation. But it also is not using this email. I’ve also tried to use the wpmu\_signup\_user\_notification\_email filter with various priorities. I know the function is triggered becuase I have error\_log() function calls in my filter that are showing in my error log. But the message returned by this filter is not used in the activation email. The email that the user is receiving has the email header and footer from BuddyBoss. But the body of the email is the standard wordpress message from /wp-includes/ms-functions.php line 1102: “To activate your user, please click the following link: [Activation Link] After you activate, you will receive _another email_ with your login.” If I go to Users-\>Pending Signups and re-send the activation email from there it does send the one created in BuddyBoss Does anybody know if I’m doing something wrong or missed anything? ---

It sounds like you’ve done everything right but it might be worth stepping through this video to see if there’s anything you missed: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gravityforms1/original/3X/7/5/7586b8608c9e2c02062900a702a0cc98acf930f1.jpeg "Customizing The User Activation Email for Gravity Forms — Better User Activation Series") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4dzgKgxYgI) We wrote a complimentary article covering the same process here: > **[Customizing the User Activation Email for Gravity Forms](https://gravitywiz.com/customizing-the-user-activation-email-for-gravity-forms/)** > > Learn how to easily create your own custom Gravity Forms user activation emails!

Hi David, Thanks for sharing the video. It looks like I was overlooking the setting for “Enable user activation. → Manually or by form notification”. Things are working as expected now. Thanks! ---
