WIP: Add endpoint to send mail to a user #2227
Conversation

What is the point of having this exposed as an API endpoint? Why not expose this through the admin interface, as a custom dashboard perhaps? Having an endpoint that sends one email to one user seems both over-engineered, as well as lacking in usability. |

We have a number of possible types of notifications and inquiries etc to be sent to dandiset owners re hub status, dandiset bugs, etc. So we need some centralized means to achieve that, potentially without requiring development of custom and fixed email template within dandi-archive (in a dashboard or not), but rather just utilizing its already existing ability to send such an email so we could interface such monitoring etc tools to that. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
and may be later
/dandisets/{dandiset__pk}/mail/
to target corresponding author of the dandiset without requiring custom code to figure out who that is. Then that endpoint would first figure out corresponding author(s) and build the to and potentially even subject prefix.

I'll close since this isnt making progress. (It was previously decided to open a design doc PR #2370 which is also stuck) This could be useful as a reference, but its simple enough its probably not worth trying to directly apply these commits to modern dandi. |
