Subscribers & Notifications

[jbrooksuk]

• It should be possible to subscribe to updates from the status page. When submitting your email, you should receive a verification email. This can also be used in the same way, if you wan to change your subscription preferences.
• Email notifications should be sent to subscribers, depending on their subscription settings.
• If the settings disables subscriptions, then the “Subscribers” dashboard should be hidden.
  • We could put this in a setting under "Manage Cachet" dashboard.
• Need a new “Manage Notifications” settings dashboard to manage and test mail settings.
• Notifications should be sent in a queue, configured in the cachet.php config. This could also be sync.
• Manually adding subscribers:
  • Force verification action (should confirmed).
• Option to suppress notifications when an incident occurs within a scheduled maintenance period.
• Skip verifying of users. Not sure I’m a huge fan of this option…

Just want to chime in on the "Skip verifying of users." point: this is something that would be crucial for us to have, as we want to sync contacts from our own relation system to Cachet. Those contacts have been verified already, so an option to skip verification in Cachet (possibly only through the API) would be very nice.

@bobvandevijver thank you for explaining this requirement. Also, great suggestion on the API only side of things. Maybe in the future we could add support to import a CSV of subscribers too which could allow you to skip verification, but we'll see in the future.
