Email alerts for contact form #42

Open iteles opened 6 years ago

iteles commented 6 years ago

As a site admin, when someone uses the contact form, I would like there to be an email sent to me so that I don't have to keep remembering to check this.

There are two versions of this:

Email alert when an email comes in
Email sent to admins with the actual content of the contact form so that admins don't have to log into the site to see it

https://www.npmjs.com/package/apostrophe-contactmail - DISCONTINUED WITH APOSTROPHE VERSION 2
Building on top of our existing 'messages' custom module? Messages extends 'apostrophe-pieces' which is inbuilt in Apostrophe. Customising this would be difficult and could present a multitude of problems as we do not currently have direct access to editing this code as it's within the node modules.

The best solution seems to be the best option:

Remove the existing form (messages module) and then replace following the html form tutorial below
You would no longer be able to access messages in the admin dashboard but you would receive email notifications which could include information about the message and you can view a list of your messages in a google sheet. https://github.com/dwyl/html-form-send-email-via-google-script-without-server I would allow 1 day for this.

There is this Apostrophe-email module but the documentation is very limited: http://apostrophecms.org/docs/modules/apostrophe-email/index.html
