Description

It would be nice if we had a way to model the different email templates so that the contents of the email could be easily edited in a UI.

We would want the fields to be:

  • Email Subject
  • Hero image
  • Title text
  • Body text

And anything else you think would be good :)

Then pass those values in as template variable when rendering the Email HTML erb files.

For example, there could be a model called BoxRequestReceivedEmail and that would determine what is the content inside the email that gets sent to volunteers when a box request is received.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a Rails model for email templates with fields: subject, hero image, title text, body text. Use ActiveRecord migrations and validations. Then, pass model instances as template variables when rendering email ERB views.
