Ease of Use for Hotel Locked in Emails #38

Open bds002 opened 8 years ago

bds002 commented 8 years ago

On the Hotel Assignments page... we group people to rooms and then click (Locked-In). The purpose of Locked-in is to send the Email notification to the staffers in that particular room.

In never fails, for one reason or the other about 5%-10% of the rooms have changes to them leading up to the event. In order to notify the people in the room that things have changed, STaff Ops has to retrieve each person email address and create a new email for each change.

What I would like to be able to do is to have a submit button on the Individual locked in rooms, that would allow us to -resend the initial email with check in dates etc.... It could be re-worded to contain update information.... and a copy of the new info should be sent to staffrooms@magfest.org (Until the Hotel Emails are logged in the users email history)

The simple-and-easy implementation would be to just delete the record that the original email was ever sent, which would mean the email gets re-sent. The downside is that you'd have to include the "this is your new room info" manually by editing the "extra info" field which adds details to the email. And that info comes close to the bottom of the email, so maybe this wouldn't be the best solution.

Maybe we could change those emails so that the "extra stuff" field goes at the top, and then you can put whatever you want there that would say something like "This is your new room information, please disregard the previous email", or something.
