New email notification format

ianmorland

Hey folks,

One of the sparkly new features we have in this update, at long last, are HTML formatted email notifications 🥳

Here’s an example:

We know that these can be a little slippery to tweak so that as many email clients and services display them in a consistent way. To that end, if you notice anything untoward with them, please share a screenshot (removing and personal or sensitive info) along with the mail client/app/service you are using

This will help us to tweak the template ahead of rolling out to the main community

Thanks everyone, and stay safe! 🌈

Nice, that will be much better, I would argue though that they should probably have the giffgaff community header rather than the runbyyou one, as that would make it clearer it’s a community email.

I hope it doesn’t come from giffgaff.community@randomgmail.com hehe

ianmorland Any chance of a “Click here to reply” link within the email? I suspect I know the answer anyway.

Good shout, and we are a step ahead of you there.. We’ve already got that on our radar to do soon..

Glad you think the same way 😃

I would agree mate, although we know the tag line it would be much clearer with the giffgaff community header

Unlikely to be related to the email client, but I’m getting this in lineageos on mobile:

The error is in the first line: I did not reply to myself there.

ianmorland

harrrrrry thanks, just deployed a fix for this, so the notification this post triggers should be correct?

ianmorland

I think you’ll need to give me BA here so I can test how that email looks 😉 😂

ianmorland

mrjeeves You’ll have to be over in H&S for that 😉

ianmorland

endorphin Yeah, I think that’s a pretty good idea 🙂

@alex_w what’s your view?

endorphin

ianmorland alex_w great minds…! 🙂

endorphin I suspect I know the answer anyway.

As the wearer of an orthopeadic shoe one said, I stand corrected. 🙂
