notifications, when retrieved by notification id, or service id (i.e.
all notifications for service).
There is a new element returned at top level of notification json called
body, which is the template content merged with personalisation. This
is consistent with api to endpoint to create notification which returns
what was sent as 'body' in json response.
Merging of template with personalisation is done in the
NotificationStatusSchema.
Personalisation data in encrypted before storing in db.
- 2 separate tasks - DB and Provider
- DB to persist notification
- Provider to contact provider
- Each piece has separate retries
- Provider retries have configured back-off
- if a service is in research mode the don't send the notifications via the providers (MMG/SES/etc)
- instead set up a task to mimic those services callbacks - this completes the loop, and show stats, delivery receipts and so on.
- Use the "to" field to choose the response, allows users to create successful and errored notifications
temp fail sms, uses "07833333333"
perm fail sms, uses = "07822222222"
success = "07811111111" (or anything else)
success email = "delivered@simulator.notify"
perm fail = "perm-fail@simulator.notify"
temp fail = "temp-fail@simulator.notify"
- new client for statsd, follows conventions used elsewhere for configuration
- client wraps underlying library so we can use a config property to send/not send statsd
Added statsd metrics for:
- count of API successful calls SMS/Email
- count of successful task execution for SMS/Email
- count of errors from Client libraries
- timing of API calls to third party clients
- timing of how long messages live on the SQS queue
Update notifications/sms|email endpoint to send the template version to the queue.
Update the process_job celery talk to send the template version to the queue.
When the send_sms|send_email task runs it will get the template by id and version.
Created a data migration script to add the template_vesion column for jobs and notifications.
The existing jobs and notifications are given the template_version of the current template.
There is a chance this is the wrong template version, but deemed okay since the application is not live.
Create unit test for the dao_get_template_versions method.
Rename /template/<id>/version to /template/<id>/versions which returns all versions for that template id and service id.
It’s nicer to have emails with a sender name, as well as the raw email
address.
Amazon SES can acheive this by using the format
```
"Sender name" <sender.name@domain.com>
```
— http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/email-format.html
We also have to remove all non-ASCII characters from the sender name,
because SMTP only supports 7-bit ASCII:
> A field name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e.,
> characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except
> colon.

We use the service name as the sender name when:
- sending emails from the API
- sending emails from a CSV file
We use GOV.UK Notify as the sender name when:
- sending invitation emails
- sending password reset emails
