Expected Behaviour

There should be a custom confirmation email that meets design guidelines to improve user trust.

This can be extrapolated to any other Supabase generated email within this project.

Current Behaviour

When a new user signs up, a confirmation email is sent to their email with a link. This email is generated through the Supabase Authentication features, using the default email template. As it stands right now, the email sent is not styled, basic and while is fully operational, the way it looks might cause mistrust amongst users: it looks like your average scam email.

Proposed Actions

• To outsource the email templates from the codebase, instead of relying in the default Supabase template.
• To then connect these custom templates directly with Supabase, through the config.toml file.

Issue #172 Update

Kindly's emails no longer look plain and untrustworthy. I have designed two use cases for Kindly's most used emails: Signup and Password reset, using Maizzle locally. The resulting HTML template was then updated to Supabase's Dashboard.

Changes made:

• Added email template code directly into Supabase, under Auth / Email Templates.
• Only two templates were added: Confirm signup & Reset Password.

Further testing

• [x] Tested by sending sample emails through Supabase (works in Gmail).
• [ ] Tested in other email providers
