Registration Pending Email

This email is sent to the customer notifying them that their account is pending approval before they can log in.

Registration Approval Email

This email is sent to the customer after their account is approved and they can log-in.

Email templates can be customized in Set-up > Emails > Email Templates

Note: There is no way to reject customer registrations therefore there is no email template for a rejected account. The admin can delete an account or simply leave it un-approved.
