We were using a bunch of different styles for form error messages,
including:
- having the name of the field in the error, or not
- can not/cannot/can’t (GDS content styleguide recommends using
contractions)
We’ve seen lots of users unsure what the ‘template name’ field is for,
especially on first use. Is it the subject line of the text message?
Will it be who the message comes from? Answer: neither.
So this commit adds a hint to make that clearer.
Because ‘Send text messages’ isn’t very helpful if you’re looking to
edit a template.
It also helps front-load the navigation, ie ‘Team’ is the first word,
rather than the more generic ‘Manage’.
This commit makes the ‘how to do placeholders’ box part of the tour,
with the same blue background.
It also adds some Javascript enhancement so that:
- it responds to the contents of the message template
- has a ‘show me’ link which inserts ‘Dear ((name))’ into the template
contents textbox
We’ve found that this has helped people understnad what placeholders
are, and how to do them.
This commit adds a 3 screen tour, similar to those used on GOV.UK Verify
and Passports.
We guerilla tested this on Friday, and it really helped users to build a
mental model of how Notify works, so that when they’re playing around
with it they have a greater sense of what they’re aiming to do. This
makes concepts like templates and placeholders click more quickly.

Underscores at the start of filenames are a convention that’s supposed
to tell a preprocessor to ignore a file. Since we’re explicitly
specifying which files need to be preprocessed, this isn’t necessary.
Also, it makes SASS lint throw a warning.
Previously the ‘get started’ block on the dashboard pushed users into
starting with a text message. This led to users writing email content
into a tet message template because it didn’t match their expectations.
Also, the ‘send yourself a test’ link from the dashboard:
- wasn’t much used, because users responded to the similar call to
action on the choose template page instead
- was confusing if you had created an email template because it
presupposed that you’d created a text message template
So this commit changes the ‘get started’ block to be a choice between
creating an email template or a text message template. We reckon that
the language of ‘set up’ will help establish that templates are not
equivalent to individual messages. This language is now repeated on the
‘choose template’ page when you don’t have templates as well.
of the name against a list of all service email_from fields.
Update find_all_service_names to find_all_service_email_from, which returns the email_from of all services.
In the navigation you should see either:
- manage team
- view team members
This depends on which permissions you have. You shouldn’t see both at
once. There was a bug which meant you could see both. This commit fixes
that bug.
