As a Campaigns team member, I want to know how we can technically implement the the ability for organizers to manually send email messages to participants, so we can begin the implementation work.
Background: When organizers have participants who have registered for their event, they want to send them updates, reminders, and other additional information to them before, during, and after the event. The messaging feature enables organizers to send messages to participants' emails or user talk pages. This part of the investigation specifically focuses on sending messages to participant email addresses. Note that not all participants will have emails on their account.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Determine if we want to use HTML emails or plaintext
- If we want to use HTML, is there an editor/interface for users so they do not need to know HTML themselves?
- Based on whether we support HTML or not: Determine if we have 1 or 2 boxes for organizing adding message content for email & talk page messages
- Can there be a header graphic that the organizer includes in the message?
Current Design of the Messaging feature for V1 (no wikitext formatting toolbar below)
Alternate Design where there is a single message textbox for both Email and User talk messages (wikitext formatting toolbar below)
Alternate Design where there are separate message textboxes for Email and User talk messages (wikitext formatting toolbar below for only user talk)
