Email Error messages for learner messages to facilitators #915

Open Qatalyst opened 3 years ago

Qatalyst commented 3 years ago

Chrissy from LAPL brought up an issue that when learners sign up for a learning circle with an incorrect email address for instance the email address is incomplete. The facilitator does not get a bounce back alert, and thus learners don't get messages and facilitators are not aware, that they have missed any communication

This is tricky, but it makes sense. We don't currently validate learner emails. We could monitor failed messages and figure out a way to indicate that to facilitators, maybe as part of the signups table of the management table. Something like "some messages sent to this learner failed". What is tricky is that the absence of that error message is no guarantee that the message was indeed received.
