Implement test service for StoneShot

[meols]

We will need to find a new news subscription option, as our current vendor Papirfly recommend that for the future, as they won't develop the solution any further.

Can you check in e.g. a Sanity community what kind of solution other Sanity users may have, and also discuss how much effort it will be to develop our own solution for it.

We need a solution that

• is triggered by us publishing news/crude oil/magazine with the different subscription options selected
• newsletter is sent to those that have subscribed to the specific topic (/subscription options)
• subscriber lists are based on input from our subscribe form and maintained automatically when people subscribe and/or unsubscribe
• lists of subscribers are stored in a GDPR compliant way (more details on this will be added)

You will be invited to a meeting with Global News Wire, who may have a solution to look into - we are not sure about the details and if it is a fit for us.

https://www.stoneshot.com/learn/api-documentation It looks like it handles it the same way by reading an rss feed then make newsletter articles from that

"...providing an RSS feed for us to take the articles from, then we’d be happy to arrange a technical call as the next steps. Looking at your current RSS feed it would work as it is, though you might want to add in image URLs and category tags?"

Based on an earlier project i have some experience with mailchimp, it fullfills all of the solution requirements including GDPR.

Set up a test service in dev try app router api

From stoneshot: We don’t specifically require RSS, we just look for an XML document and map from that. It just so happens that RSS is written in XML and we therefore can support and load it. Other clients have therefore added nodes etc to their XML that fall outside of the RSS specifications. The correct format should be https://www.example.org/image.png

From this i make of it that we need to add our own namespace for rss to extend beyond rss 2.0 specs

Please specify if there are any test tasks for editors.

Things to consider/test, as mentioned in the meeting today;

• How are languages handled?
• Can you subscribe to a mix of English (e.g. General news) and Norwegian (e.g. Magasin) newsletters? (do we want that)
• Anything we need to consider for crude oil updates that are only made in English, but you can subscribe to also from the Norwegian subscribe page https://www.equinor.com/no/om-oss/abonner
• Can users update their subscription (add and remove one or more of the four options)
• Can we have a subscribe to "All" option?
• Can we have noreply@equinor.com (as today) as the sender of the newsletter?
• 
• What will their statistics module (I think Matthew mentioned that at some point) show/give?

@BorghildSelle - what are the acceptance criteria for this? Are there any answers to the questions above?

[BorghildSelle]

@meols This is an ongoing branch, but stale/inactive as it hosts the rss feed that StoneShot pulls from for the testing of email automation on new news articles in staging. We will do a round on the question listed above and get back to you :)
