Sailthru reintegration

[hsztul]

@spinosa take a look at this for me please.

updated: now pinging sailthru to see if a user is already in our system, if so, changing their email. otherwise just adding them to our list of gt-users.

only thing i am still not sure about is whether the callback on the user model should be a before_save or after_save

i dont think that user.primary_email_changed is preserved after save, but i am having a hard time verifying this in development.

additionally, the welcome email will be sent as a rake task run via cron (which i am still working on)

thanks,

you should update user in after_save b/c you don't know if save will succeed in before_save. you can write a controller test to verify both cases

[hsztul]

so after some testing (wrote a function spec for user.rb) i believe i was correct, after_save we don't have access to any properties that have changed… so trying to ping sailthru doesn't work doing things with this callback.

any thoughts on how to proceed?

scratching my head.
