Summary email to the whole group, just before the event #8

Closed hrj closed 9 years ago

hrj commented 9 years ago

Before the event, a summary could be sent to the whole group (mailing list), without any personal details.

For example:

Event details: Topic, Total seats available, Date & Time, Venue, etc
Number of people attending
Number of people not-attending (that is, they RSVPed explicitly as not attending).

This is waiting on @digen for SMTP auth for sending email

digen commented 9 years ago

@hiteshd Working on this.

@hiteshd All set. pgp.mit.edu is acting up. screenshot 2015-03-18 17 21 21

digen commented 9 years ago

@hiteshd Details sent. Let me know if you need anything else.

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

Adding some finer points so we are on the same page.

An email is sent in the following conditions

A Confirmation email is sent to the individual when RSVP is successful
One email to every individual is sent 24 hours before the an event as a reminder
A reminder about the event is sent to everyone on the mailing list at FOSSTR fosstr@fosstr.org

I find the 3rd email sort of redundant. But thats just me.

Ideas? Thoughts?

gsama commented 9 years ago

The 3rd email is redundant. Can / should we have email of all registered individuals to fosstr@fosstr.org?

digen commented 9 years ago

Instead of the 3rd, send email about details of participants ( name, email address ) who have confirmed attendance to the mailing list ?

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

Alright. @digen - Can you verify the credentials via the script that i sent

digen commented 9 years ago

@hiteshd I am working on this tonight. Will update here or in the IRC if you're around.

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

ada5250 Should address this. However this is not tested at this point

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

The SMTP server seems to be acting up again

I am getting the following from the server during testing with cron

(535, '5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure')

@digen - Can you check again

digen commented 9 years ago

@hiteshd It's working for me with the same details.

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

It worked for me previously too. Could you perhaps check the logs for the SMTP server. This seems to be sporadic.

digen commented 9 years ago

@hiteshd A small suggestion, as and when you're done, you can post the RSVP link here as well as in the mailing list for members to test the email functionality.

hiteshd commented 9 years ago

@digen - Agreed! Lets beta test this for the upcoming meetup
