Gather ideas for sending emails to all people of one user group
First the ticket to separate user data by usergroup https://github.com/phoet/on_ruby/issues/622 has to be solved.
Then when every usergroup has their own users, it would be great to have functionality to send all users that entered their email address emails (over a service like Sendgrid).
Once this works, sending emails to all people appointed to an event should be easy to implement.
Not sending emails to users is kind of a feature right now 😀
If you really want to send reminders, that should be pretty straight forward through whats already there.
Do you mean sending an email to the googlegroup? While we do have one, it is basically unused and most people wouldn't see those messages.
Sending messages to the group (better: one to each user) is the 2nd most missed feature for us when moving away from meetup. (Number 1 is discoverability, but that will be harder to "implement".)
I mean user based reminders. Those do intentionality not exist, because they are perceived as annoying on Meetup.
Mailers are already setup and can be used with sendgrid for whatever purpose.
Ah, good to know. Guess it is worth to study the current implementation and check how it can be generalized or made configurable.
