Preconditions

1. Magento 2.1.6
2. Php7 / Varnish / MySQL

Steps to reproduce

1. Import new customers with a CSV file
2. Use the standard "customer and addresses (single file)" import

Expected result

1. A "welcome email" is send to the new customers

Actual result

1. The "welcome email" has not been sent

Is there someone that knows how to bypass this ?

Are you able to use the REST API? I do everything via backdoor with the API and Guzzle in a CLI application I made with the Symfony 3 Console Component which seems to work just fine.

Hello @jordanbrauer ,

Thanks for your reply.

I will get a look at the REST API. Which on do you think I should use in order to send the welcome email ?
However, API is a bit long and to synchronize 7000 clients per day, it will take too much time.
The csv import is just fine. I use a module that let me import any csv with a cli (==> easy to script)

Thanks in advance
