Display the email address of a user requesting group access in email template

I would like to alter the email template that goes out when a user requests access to a group.
Right now it shows the username but this is not helpful to our admins because of the ability for users to have whatever name they like. It would be very helpful to be able to include an email token that shows BOTH the display name AND the email address of the person requesting access to the group but I seem unable to find these values.

Hoping that someone can help me, thanks!

{{requesting-user.name}} {{requesting-user.name}} {{requesting-user.email}} wants to join the group

for example… But I don’t think these are valid.

Hi there, according to this: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/email-tokens/ there’s a global token called {{recipient.username}}. Does that help?

Thanks.
I thought that would be the name of the person receiving the email, no?
I’m looking for the email recipient to have the email address and display name of the person requesting access to the group.

Use the filter to add a token…
```
function maybe_add_tokens_bp_email( $formatted_tokens, $tokens, $obj ) {

  if ( isset( $formatted_tokens['requesting-user.name'] ) && isset( $formatted_tokens['requesting-user.id'] ) ) {	

     $user_info = get_userdata( $formatted_tokens['requesting-user.id'] );

     $formatted_tokens['memberemail'] = $user_info->user_email;

  }

  return $formatted_tokens;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_email_set_tokens', 'maybe_add_tokens_bp_email', 11, 3  );
```
Then edit the Membership request for group email to add that token.
Something like: Member Email: {{memberemail}}
