Emails can get very long.
When you’re trying to do other things on the page this results in a lot
of scrolling.
This commit truncates email messages to about 3 lines, and adds a JS
toggle which reveal the full contents of the email.
If a user puts a linebreak in an SMS template then the recipient will
see these linebreaks on their phone. So when we show a preview of an SMS
template, it should have linebreaks in it.
On:
- the API keys page
- the ‘send’ page
There are some inconsistently small heading sizes. This commit makes them
consistent with the heading sizes on other pages.
We have lots of keylines in our pages, eg tables, email message previews
This makes the pages look quite cluttered, especially because the
keylines don’t always align.
I think it looks much cleaner without the keylines in the nav, and we
have few enough nav items that we don’t need to chunk them up.
On the send page, it should hightlight the placeholders so they match
what you need to put in the CSV file.
On the check page, they should not be highlighted, to match what’s in
the (rendered) template.
We’ve seen users try to click the upload again when their file doesn’t
upload in time. This is because we’re giving them no feedback that
something is happening.
I reckon that changing the button to a cancel button is the easiest way
to show that something is happening, and also means that (unlike
disabling the send button) the user can’t get stuck if the connection
drops completely.
We’ve seen in research that people can be reticent to give their real
phone number. Telling them that it will be used for something should
help (ie we’re not just collecting it for marketing).
This also rewords the other form hints on this page to be less computery
because we haven’t looked at them in aaaages.
We probably shouldn’t hide the contents of the CSV when people are just
testing the app, or if they’re starting off with small jobs.
A limit of 15 rows displayed was awkwardly on the cusp between just
testing and sending a small batch.
This commit increases the limit to 50; I reckon that over 50 recipients
no-one will be wanting to check them all individually.
This caused some anxiety about why the rows were being hidden. Were
there problems with them?
This commit reframes the wording to talk about the rows that are shown
instead.

We put a border on text boxes that have errors. This means that they
take up more space than the layers above them which don’t have borders.
This makes the layers that highlight the fields in a template misalign.
This commit adds a line to make the borders match, which fixes this.

This is because it causes havoc with the column headers in CSV files.
