How should we configure Amazon SES?
- Proposal:
- Reroute bounce and complaints to SNS
- Have a worker disable emails to hard-bounced recipients
- Also flip flags in settings for complaints
- Store the bounce/complaint in a blob
- Proposal:
- Should users be notified of bounces?
- How should we implement the worker that sends messages?
- Proposal Proposal:
- Add a migratable table with a single column of message IDs
- Add a worker that periodically polls the table
- If the table is not empty, process N rows from the top
- Delete rows once finished processing
- Proposal Proposal:
- Extend ObjectType to include a "MESSAGE" type
- Have DBOMessage extend ObservableEntity and TaggableEntity
- Send a change message when a message is created
- Implement a worker, subscribed to the repo-changes topic, that looks for MESSAGE-CREATED changes and processes it
- The worker should always check to see if a message has already been sent, so that messages do not get resent every time the stack changes.
- Proposal Proposal:
- Should some messages be stored as templates?
- If we start sending out notifications about Entity changes and the like, most of the contents will be similar except for the ID and some small part of the message body. We could conceivably add a flag to the MessageToUser object that tells the client to fill in a messages according to some simple template. Then we could store the key-values of the template in a blob (perhaps following the same schema as StringAnnotations) along with the message.
- What options belong in the settings object?
- Send email when...
- Update to a favorite-ed entity
- Team is messaged
- Message from user
- Admin sends mail to everyone
- Mark message as read if forwarded to email?
- Send email when...
- When someone is added to a conversation, should they be allowed to see all previous messages within the conversation? Or should it be the client's job to forward each individual message to the person?
