Email to Trusted Adult

[tiffany-tang]

When I am going through a difficult period mentally,
I want the web-app to allow me to share my feelings with someone I trust,
Especially if I am experiencing frequent difficult feelings, or have tried and failed to find a coping strategy that works.

Acceptance Criteria

• Will be asked whether they would like to send this information to their Trusted Adult after Reflection pages.
• Can send daily information to Trusted Adult - including: the emotion logged, reason, the username
• information will be sent as a simple email

MVP testing

• Trusted Adult will be the facilitator of the closed group
• Participating users will not be able to edit their trusted adult.

I remember in our earlier meetings we said for now emails will all be sent to the assigned teacher so the children won't have the ability to customise or select who they're sending an email to. Is that still the case @tiffany-tang?

[tiffany-tang]

@Cleop Oh no I'm so sorry I missed the standup

Yes the emails will be sent to the assigned teacher so in this phase children won't be able to input contact details for another person.

At the moment we are using

• Mailgun - free at the moment (10,000 emails free every month; limited email addresses that can received email). We have at the moment only one trusted adult in the database. Once multiple trusted adult can be added do we still want to use Mailgun or another service (e.g Amzon Simple Email Service)

• Elixir package Bamboo to send the email via the application, with Bamboo.MailgunAdapter

I manage to sent a simple email when a page is loaded:

Mailgun will create a private key and a domain value. These credentials must remain private and are loaded as environment variables with a .env file:

MAILGUN_API_KEY=5198.....
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=sandbox......mailgun.org

With docker you can load this environement variable with env_file property, ie:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    volumes:
      - .:/app
    depends_on:
      - db
    env_file:
      - ./.env
  db:
    image: postgres:10.5

I need know to get all the information of the emotion from the database, get the email from the trusted adult linked to the emotion (via the user).
For that I need to double check the structure of the database to make sure we can use link the data together (user, trusted adult, emotion and emotion log) with Ecto

@SimonLab Just tested it out - it got sent over so that's great! Also loving the fact the homepage trusted adult button will change to indicate they have sent the email over.

A quick question regarding identification - I think it will be more efficient if the email contains the the username of the person sending the email so it'll be easier for the trusted adult to identify who that is.

@SimonLab Will the eventual version have this page after sharing the email to trusted adult?

[tiffany-tang]

Closed because issue resolved during stand-up

[tiffany-tang]

Accidentally closed it previously - i think we still have outstanding tasks.
