Notification service

The negotiator features a notification service for notifying representatives, admins and researchers about various events tied to a Negotiation.

Implementation

Currently, it's implemented using SpringMail.

Configuration

To configure the Spring Mail, set the following environment variables or update the properties file for the appropriate profile:

SPRING_MAIL_HOST="smtp.example"
SPRING_MAIL_PORT=1025
SPRING_MAIL_USERNAME="user"
SPRING_MAIL_PASSWORD="pass"

Email template

Templates ensure consistent and automated communications for various functions. We are using Thymeleaf as the template engine, the email templates are stored in the resources/templates/ directory.

Email reminder

Automates the sending of emails based on schedules. The email reminder service is implemented using Spring's Task Execution and Scheduling. The reminder service is configured in the application-prod.yml file.

reminder:
  trigger-duration-days: "P7D"
  cron-schedule-expression: "0 0 0 * * TUE"

Development

For development, we advise to use a service called Mailhog. It serves to test sending email messages and acts as a mock smtp server. For setup, follow the instructions mentioned in their documentation.
