Heya - I think we'll need two messages for badge award:

1) for a returning user (message above) 2) for a first-time badge earner (new user)

2) is slightly different as the user will be adding a name and password to create the account.

The log in flow scenarios are this:

a) returning user gets an email notification about a badge and can use link in email to go to the site and log in. Successful log in goes to my badges page. (message 1) a.1) returning user logs in directly on site. Successful log in goes to my badges page. (Still receives message 1) b) new user and first time badge earner (message 2). Link in email takes them to a screen asking for name and to add a password/confirm password. Success completes account set up and goes to my badges page. b.1) new user clicks on log in and never completed account set up. (let's talk about how to handle this - have a few thoughts).

Thanks

Howdy.

Got it. This all makes sense.

Hey @threeqube - A few questions / comments with this: 1) Is there a reason MyBadges is one word? 2) Are these emails going to be completely text based? (or is there room to have a designed header, etc.) 3) I would try to break up the text a bit.

Heya @megcolek - They're html emails (with text for non html clients). Here's what it looks like:

[threeqube]

@megcolek I like your updates. @kayaelle thoughts? wrt:

1) Is there a reason MyBadges is one word?

Nope, if you bump on this we can do My Badges two words. I'm not married to it being one word.

2) Are these emails going to be completely text based? (or is there room to have a designed header, etc.)

See @kayaelle's comment https://github.com/bdgio/msol-badger/issues/31#issuecomment-108686362

3) I would try to break up the text a bit.

Works for me. I like what you've done. :+1: by me.

[kayaelle]

Cool. One note: we can't use name for Case B. We don't know their name until they've created an account.

[threeqube]

@kayaelle good point. We'll skip |NAME| in Case B accordingly. Do we have all that we need with these emails?

[kayaelle]

yep. Thanks!
