Added a page which lets users with the 'manage_service' permission change the
contact link for their service. There are no links to this page yet
since only services using document download will need to set a contact
link.
At the moment branding is an undocumented feature. We get a bunch of
support tickets from teams asking its possible.
This commit:
- lets people know it’s possible, and what the options are
- is the first step towards making this process as self-service as
possible
In some cases we will be able to infer a user’s organisation from there
email address, and Google image search their logo. So the experience for
them is that they press a button and government just sorts it out for
you (also known as "the dream").
In other cases we will have to get back to people asking for a copy of
their logo, or to find out about their service, but this is what we have
to do at the moment anyway.
If we know the code won’t pass the validation on the API side, we might
as well tell the user before even passing it to the API.
So this commit:
- adds some more validators to the field
- rewrites the validation function on the form to actually call the
field-level validators before hitting the API 🤦♂️
- refactors the tests to be parametrize, which means they can be
shorter, easier to read, and more comprehensive
we reckon users will like to see gov reply-to email addresses because
it will improve their confidence in the email.
however, some services, for a few complex reasons, don't want a gov
reply to address. rather than add their specific domains to the
whitelist for signups etc, just make reply tos allowed from any domain.
We vet reply-tos before services go live anyway.
We strip most whitespace as of:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1701
However we are still getting some bad email addresses through, for
example one that had a leading zero-width space character. This means
that the user sees a validation error; really we should just deal with
the mess for them.
So this commit also includes characters without Unicode character
property "WSpace=Y" (which includes zero-width space) to those which are
stripped from form submissions.

If you have a placeholder called `((phone number))` in your email
template, and you try to send a one-off message then the form input will
attempt to validate your ‘phone number’.
This is not helpful if you’re trying to put a landline number in your
email, for example.
This only affects messages being sent through the one-off interface.
This commit makes the form be aware of template type, which fixes the
problem.
This question was designed to make people feel like it was OK to submit
their request without getting the MoU signed. We reckoned that this was
the fastest way of getting their service live (because the MoU is the
bit that’s most likely to slow them down).
We now have a better way of telling people:
- if they’ve signed the MoU already
- or to contact us if they haven’t (which is what the majority of teams
seem to do now)
We were never actually using the answer to this question – we were still
checking for every service whether they had it signed.
So this commit removes this now-redundant question.
Having SMS senders that start with 00 can cause issues with Firetext due
to Firetext's validation rules, so we shouldn't allow SMS senders to start
with 00.
Firetext treats a double 00 at the start of the senderID as an international
prefix, so removes them. A sender of 00447876574016 would become 447876574016.
Under Firetext's validation rules, an SMS sender of five 0s (00000) would
become 4400. This is because the first 00 are removed (as the international
prefix). The third 0 is seen as the start of a phone number, and becomes 44,
leaving the final 00 = 4400.
Done using isort[1], with the following command:
```
isort -rc ./app ./tests
```
Adds linting to the `run_tests.sh` script to stop badly-sorted imports
getting re-introduced.
Chosen style is ‘Vertical Hanging Indent’ with trailing commas, because
I think it gives the cleanest diffs, eg:
```
from third_party import (
lib1,
lib2,
lib3,
lib4,
)
```

previously we were just using the wtforms builtin email validator,
which is much more relaxed than our own one. It'd catch bad emails when
POSTing to the API, resulting in an ugly error message. It's easy work
to make sure we validate email addresses as soon as they're entered.
We have a team who want their (short) web address as the text message
sender. This commit updates the validation of text message senders to
allow `.` as a valid character, which is currently blocking them from
doing this.
We can be fairly confident this works because:
- the team are sending large volumes of messages already with their
existing provider
- we’ve tested it with all combinations of
- both our text message providers
- an Android phone and n iPhone
Using a separate validator class to check for appropriate characters in
a text message sender means that we’re not doing this validation in a
different way from the other checks (length and required). So the code
is cleaner.
Another thing we did for templates, when they started to get
unmanageable, was add a find-as-you type search. We’ve observed real
users interacting with this to great effect, so I think it makes sense
for users too.
Like for templates, it only shows up when there are more than 7, so that
it’s not clutter for teams who don’t have a lot of members.
Our support ticket analysis shows that the most common action request
after going live is turning on letters.
We just do this for any team that requests it – there’s no gatekeeping.
So we should just allow people to make the change themselves.
This will be a better experience for our users, and less work for us.
The design of the page replicates roughly what we have for international
text messaging.
When we first made this form you couldn’t send one off messages with
Notify. It’s interesting to us because it might help identity teams who
would benefit from email auth, or other features that we build in the
future for caseworkers.
We’ve had whitespace-in-emails problems on:
- register form
- sign in form
- send one off form
We should just handle whitespace gracefully, by ignoring it. Makes sense
to do this at a global level because there might be other places it’s
causing problems that we don’t know about.
The only place that users _might_ be relying on leading/trailing spaces
(and we have no way of knowing this) is in passwords or tokens. So this
filter ignores any instances of `PasswordField`.

We’re extracting this from being determined based on what the sender
name is to its own setting.
This commit will let users set it independently.
Until the explicitly set it, it will still be determined based on
whether their default sender name matches the default for the platform.
So that we can default services to their appropriate text allowance, we
need to find out what sector they're in. So let's start collecting that
from teams as they create new services.
I think Central/Local/NHS are the right options, but these can be easily
changed if not.
