1. Go to Admin Center and search Manage API Option Profile.

2. On the List API Option Profile screen, a list of previously created profiles is displayed. You can manage the list by editing, deleting, or adding new profiles. Choose Add to create a new profile. On the Add API Option Profile screen, select User from the Entity Type dropdown list and enter a profile ID.

3. Now Click on Edit -> Add Click on the checkbox "Send welcome email to new users" and Save.

4. Add parameter apiOptionProfileID=<profile ID> to your URI when you insert a new user.

5. The "email" mentioned in the Request Payload will receive the Welcome Email Notification.

6. Important Points to be noted:

• Currently the OData API Option Profile tool supports only the User entity.
• The above scenario is valid only for "New User" Creation. Email Notifcation cannot be sent updating data for existing Users.
• Multiple parameter values aren’t supported. If you include multiple values of the same parameter, for example, apiOptionProfile=ID01&apiOptionProfile=ID02, the second parameter value ID02 is ignored.
