Enable some notification granularity
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Conpherence has two blunt settings for email. Send it all or none. We should add some granularity and select sensible defaults. In the general case, we don't want to auto-send email, but cases like mentions, topic changes, getting added or removed to a Room, the user might want a email. The main reasoning here is Conpherence itself has no push notification ability, so email for now acts as a proxy.

Send me emails:

  • When a new message appears
  • When I'm mentioned
  • When I'm added or removed
  • When the topic changes
  • When @cspeckmim finds a bug.

Thoughts?

Slack let's you ping the entire channel with protected usernames @everyone and @here, the latter which alerts everyone as if they were mentioned.

Should Herald be setup to supply this configurability, per channel?

We have this as a global setting per user, and a local setting per user per room. I don't know where it should live longterm. @epriestley ?

yeah this is tricky since Conpherence has it's own separate notification channel. I was hoping to just pop these in with standard Mailtags, which sort of works, but is also sort of confusing.

I'm just going to merge this into T10448 since I think it's functionally identical.
