XF 2.2 Is there an add-on someone knows of or is it possible to give a person a code they could use at sign up to obtain a particular user group immediately?

Thought it would help to put most all of my question in the thread title. I am looking for a way to do two things:

1) Have a new registration immediately be given a particular user group. This would make new volunteers joining our site a lot easier to work with as they would automatically be given a staff user group and, ideally, even the staff title being checked off -- somehow?

2) Sending a message especially for the team registered user after they join with the code or whatever - that only they would see versus the welcome message to everyone..??

I know I am likely grasping here lol but if anyone knows, does something like that or may be interested in creating something like that ... I am open!

Thanks!

1. A custom user field with a user group promotion.

2. A notice for the promoted user group only.
