Shelby Chat: Email titles don't make sense #797

Closed ckurdziel closed 11 years ago

ckurdziel commented 11 years ago

Current email title appears to just be a username and the username is different depending on who is getting the email.

I sent this email from my ckurdziel@gmail Shelby account to my chris@Shelby email address and this was the title in Shelby mail: Screen Shot 2013-01-15 at 3 30 49 PM Now here is the title in my personal Gmail: Screen Shot 2013-01-15 at 3 36 14 PM

This is confusing UX and people aren't getting it. We need to do a better job saying what the user is getting and why they are getting it. For example:

"username sent you a video using Shelby Chat"

For the self email, we should do one of two things: 1) Not send the email to yourself (an argument could be made it's confusing and people don't need a record of it) 2) If we're going to send the email to the user that just sent the message, let's do it with different messaging such as: "You sent email@email.com a video. Here's the record of it."

changing the subject to 1) " sent you a Shelby Chat video" 2) " sent you, a Shelby Chat video" 2) " sent you, , and others a Shelby Chat video"

not sending to creator (it's just confusing)

change forthcoming...
