[CAL-3077] Manage Email Templates Separately

[robertmclaws]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

I'm frustrated when I want to create a consistent email experience between events and I can't figure out how to create + re-use an event's custom email templates.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a section of the app dedicated to managing notification templates so they can be standardized and re-used across events.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It appears my only alternative is to manually create event workflows and copy-and paste definitions just so that the user can get a notification when an event is scheduled. Seems a little ridiculous.

House rules

• If this issue has a 🚨 needs approval label, don't start coding yet. Wait until a core member approves feature request by removing this label, then you can start coding.
  • For clarity: Non-core member issues automatically get the 🚨 needs approval label.
  • Your feature ideas are invaluable to us! However, they undergo review to ensure alignment with the product's direction.

i see what you mean.

customising emails has been on my mind for a while now.

also being able to add your own SMTP and domain

we'll look into this, tho its a major project and touching email is always tricky and risky

[robertmclaws]

I think the templating system itself works fine. But the only templates are either "reminder" or "custom".

Whatever system that's using, just pull it out of Workflows and make it its' own thing. Then load the templates in the dropdown. I'm sure there are a ton of things you COULD do for branding the emails... courier.com or a couple other services out there do a great job at that.

For now just letting me populate that dropdown with my own templates would be huge.

Thanks!

Is there any progress in this? We would really need this, to not fork and patch cal com anymore.

[PeerRich]

have you built your own email template editor? if yes feel free to raise a PR and share with the community, no?

or what do you mean by "patching"? what is your patch?

[PeerRich]

building a full email template editor with custom SMTP is a huuuuge undertaking which is why this hasnt found its way into the app yet

What I am missing or just not seeing is a duplicate button for the workflows. When I want to setup a reminder 48 hours, 9 hours and 1 hours before the meeting I need to setup 3 workflows from scratch. if it is possible already - please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
