No problem. Here is the change-- Admin\>Customize\>Text Content and update **js.groups.request\_membership\_pm.body** with the following (substitute [yourdomain.com](http://yourdomain.com) and the support email address):

```
I would like to join the following group.
https://yourdomain.com/groups/{{groupName}}

>This group requires approval by the owner to join. Please hit the Send button below and allow time for a response. If you need assistance, you can also email support@yourdomain.com.

```

Note: that I also customized the button text to change it from “Message” to “Send” just to stress that user action is required to “send” the PM. You can do that by customizing **js.composer.create\_pm**

Yes. That is the how it works. The PM will have the link in the body so that helps.
