Send email on successful repair request

[dct0]

Basic Information

Send confirmation email to client when a repair request is created. The template is already created in src/email/emails.

Additionally, to avoid spam during testing, make this feature togglable. Consider adding a metadata attribute to the clerk user like disableEmailConfirmations or add some environment variable

Other Information

We are using AWS SES to send emails with React Email. Let me know if you have any issues with the access key.

Branch issue-152-Send_email_on_successful_repair_request created!

Initial thoughts:

1. When and how to trigger the sending action.
2. Avoid sending duplicate emails; perhaps, recording the sending status is necessary.
3. How to trace what was actually sent to clients after the sending action.
4. If the sending action failed, should we make up for it? How many times should we retry?
5. What if a client requests a resend?
6. What if the template changes?

1. In the POST of /api/repair-request. It's missing error handling and error states currently, which can be added in this work
2. We could store the created email contents in the database, but I think this can be left to a separate issue
3. Same thing here, logging isn't a huge concern for MVP
4. Not sure about this, we'll have to do some research on what AWS SES can give us. Otherwise, if the email isn't received, we can add a button on the client's repair requests page to resend the email
5. Leave it to a separate email
6. Given we only have one template right now, I don't think it's justified to store the email template in a database so we don't have to redeploy every time the template changes.
