Per-form email settings #39

Closed rosswintle closed 9 years ago

rosswintle commented 9 years ago

Would love to see form-specific emails. Use case: church is having a specific fundraising campaign for a building project, this is separate from their main fundraising activity. The user should get a custom message for that campaign.

Two options for implementation: 1) Create "Template sets" in the email settings, and then allow a template set to be selected in the form settings. This keeps form settings to a minimum, but is potentially more complex.

2) Have custom email settings in the form settings itself. You could probably hide these and then have a "Use custom email content" checkbox that reveals them.

Makes a lot of sense. Might make more sense as an "Email Routing" add-on. @DevinWalker what's your take on this?

DevinWalker commented 9 years ago

Yeah definitely room here for an Add-on

mathetos commented 9 years ago

Thinking through this one a bit, and I'm a little hesitant to get into that. I see this more as MailChimp territory, especially with their new Web Hooks feature. Of course that assumes the charity is using MailChimp.

@rosswintle Can you elaborate a little, or @DevinWalker what do you think?

rosswintle commented 9 years ago

I'm not quite sure what you want me to elaborate on? I can't think of many sites I work on where I'd want the SAME email confirmation text sent to a donor on every donation form.

In many cases charities run campaigns for specific things, have separate funds for different activities, and so on. These would require different email confirmation texts. A church, for example, might need to say:

etc.

It's possible that Web Hooks in MailChimp would help, but I've not looked into it and that would require MailChimp integration, which may be overkill or not required.

A simple override field on each form may be enough to achieve this.

I like this idea very much. And I agree that MailChimp integration is not necessary. The need is custom email templates per form, not so much mailing lists.

This Add-on has been added to this: https://givewp.com/coming-soon/

It's not going to be a core functionality so I'm closing this issue.
