Django email builder #8768
Description
User Story
Email epic: https://www.notion.so/gitcoin/Gitcoin-Email-Accountability-06ed4107dd654488b562fb7b9d08e386
We need more control on the content of the emails in a WYSWYG builder way, not only for static data, also for dynamic blocks
We still want to put most of the mkt emails on Mautic but we need more control on the emails that are not send by Mautic, because dynamic data or transactional emails.
Agreements:
- We need a django builder for mails, but most of the packages are bad so there is a oss project grapejs and seems great.
- Dynamic data, email tokens will be created so on the admin email creator can be used like {{upcoming_hackathons}}
- The system doesn't create email, it create TEMPLATES that assigned to a tag will generate the email. Example: on the UI you will have a dropdown "email:" with options like "Daily_email" "Monthly_email" .... so means if you click Daily and create a template, next day email will use that template, next time you want to change the daily email design/ content you can just get in and edit (with grapejs) on the admin.
- 2 kind of queries, general queries and per user queries, first will going to focus on the "general queries" like upcoming hackathons, last quest, etc. per user queries will be investigated later (we need to check if is doable)
- Future code need to be Dry so we can reuse it to create landings on the future.
- Integrate with mautic UTM so mautic can still track the opening click bouncing etc.
- Test email, add a field to input an email and send button so you can test how it actually looks like in the email.
