Currently, the committee is transitioning to a new grant management system. Below are som ideas in place that helps with automation using the old manual system. Wait until after the integration to review these ideas and see if they are still needed.
Auto-get info from the email submission form that is received after a request is sent in.
Track the budget pdf document in the database so the user does not need to input it later on.
Idea of how to do that: Create a new field in the db with the path to the budget file. Create a hash of the file and get the first 8 characters and use this as the file name. (Because of limitations of the pypdf method being used, we need to make sure the budget is a pdf before storing it permanently.) Create a new folder in env (check if there is one, if not create it) to store these files.
Email replies for requestor interaction should be in the same thread, not separate emails. See about following the Gmail API standard to allow in-tread replies even when there are other replies outside of the program's expectations.
Auto snooze emails so that the user does not have to.
