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.
This commit adds two new sections to the dashboard
1. A banner telling you about trial mode, including a count of how many messages
you have left today, which is a restriction of trial mode
2. Panels with counts of how many emails and text messages have been sent in a
day, plus the failure rates for each
It does **not**:
- link through to any further information about what trial mode is (coming
later)
- link through to pages for the failure rates (coming later)
- change the ‘recent jobs’ section to ‘recent notifications’
Each service on the list is linked to the dashboard page of the service.
The platform admin user can see/edit templates, see/invite users, see/edit service settings.
The platform admin user can not send messages, see/edit api keys and developer docs.
Would like to test something like this and see how well it works.
Intention of having this page is so:
- template IDs are discoverable (https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/115404593)
- it’s obvious there’s an ‘automated’ way to send messages, as well as the CSV
way (we’ve seen people oblivious to this in research)
On the send messages and manage team pages we have big green buttons for
adding/inviting a new template or team member.
On the add template page it was at the bottom, and often got missed.
On the manage team page it was at the top, but maybe too prominent because it’s
big and green.
This commit tries putting it in the top right of the page instead (except when
the template page is empty, in which case it’s unchanged).
Use one page template for each of:
- choosing a message template
- adding recipients
- checking an email message
- looking at a job
This commit consolidates the two templates into one, and adds logic to show
the SMS message pattern or the email message pattern depending on the type of
template.
It also gives email templates a bit more width, because the body and the from
address tend to be quite long.
