Have recently set up a new Discourse site with all users being created via API calls with active and approved status set to true, also digest and suppress intervals were set in the site settings.
I am finding that users only start receiving Activity Summaries after their first visit to the site. I was hoping that all users would receive Activity Summaries prior to visiting the site as a means of encouraging them to make their first visit.
Have I missed a setting to make this happen, or is there something else I need to do? Thanks.

Maybe `suppress digest email after days` is a problem because the user never visited.

> The only other reason they wouldn’t receive the digest is if the user was created via the `sync_sso` route and has never visited the forum. See [Summary emails, new users and SSO - #6 by simon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/summary-emails-new-users-and-sso/143829/6) for details about that.

Thanks for the pointer. I’ll make the changes referenced and wait to see what happens.

It’s harder to create an active user than you might think. I suspect those users are waiting for the email to be validated even though they are marked as active. I had a similar problem recently when I created a user with rails.
