Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if sending a notification email to the admin when a new user signs up could slow down the signup process for the user.
In my workflow, the user completes the signup form and clicks “Sign Up”—after which they are directed to the next page in the onboarding process. I currently have a “Send Email” action placed just before the “Go to Page” step.
As far as I understand the action, Send email is an asynchronous action, so next action won’t wait for any specific response.
The user will indeed experience a small delay since an extra action is performed prior to the Go to page action but I believe it is neglectable enough for you not to worry about it.
Actually, from experience, I think it does add a long delay to send the email. I always do the emails on the backend workflows now to reduce the signup process.
