Run Migration ```bash export RUN_MIGRATIONS=true ./main ``` ### 2. Enable in Admin ```bash curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/newsletter/enable \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"enabled": true}' ``` ### 3. Configure Settings Update the `settings` table via admin API or directly in database. ### 4. Test ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/newsletter/test \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"email": "test@example.com", "type": "weekly"}' ``` ## πŸ”„ Automation Schedule The system runs checks **every 15 minutes** and: 1. Checks if it's time for weekly digest (matches configured day/hour) 2. Scans upcoming matches for reminder opportunities 3. Scans finished matches for result notifications 4. Blog notifications trigger immediately on publish (not on schedule) ## ⚠️ Important Notes ### Duplicate Prevention - Each notification type has tracking to prevent duplicates - Unique constraints on `match_id + notification_type` and `article_id` ### Rate Limiting - 200ms delay between individual emails to avoid SMTP throttling - Consider using a dedicated SMTP service for large subscriber lists ### Token Security - Subscriber tokens expire after 30 days - Tokens are JWT-based with HMAC signing - Use `JWT_SECRET` environment variable (never leave as default in production) ### Blog Notifications - Only trigger when `published` changes from `false` to `true` - Manual DB updates won't trigger (only through admin API/UI) ### Match Data - Relies on cached FACR data in `cache/prefetch/facr_club_info.json` - Ensure prefetch service is running and cache is fresh ## πŸ“Š Monitoring ### Check System Status ```sql -- Active subscribers SELECT COUNT(*) FROM newsletter_subscriptions WHERE is_active = true; -- Sent newsletters today SELECT newsletter_type, COUNT(*), SUM(recipients_count) FROM newsletter_sent_log WHERE DATE(sent_at) = CURRENT_DATE GROUP BY newsletter_type; -- Recent blog notifications SELECT article_id, sent_at, recipients_count FROM blog_notifications ORDER BY sent_at DESC LIMIT 10; -- Recent match notifications SELECT match_id, notification_type, sent_at, recipients_count FROM match_notifications ORDER BY sent_at DESC LIMIT 10; -- Email analytics SELECT event_type, COUNT(*) FROM email_event WHERE DATE(created_at) = CURRENT_DATE GROUP BY event_type; ``` ### Admin API ```bash GET /api/v1/admin/newsletter/status ``` ## πŸ› Troubleshooting | Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | No emails sent | Check `newsletter_enabled` and individual type flags in settings | | Duplicate emails | Check tracking tables for existing notifications | | Wrong schedule | Verify timezone, day, and hour settings | | Blog notification not sent | Ensure article was published via API (not manual DB update) | | Match data missing | Verify prefetch cache is populated | ## πŸ“– Full Documentation See `NEWSLETTER_SYSTEM.md` for: - Detailed API reference - Database schema documentation - Email template variables - Security considerations - Future enhancement ideas ## ✨ Next Steps 1. **Run migration** to create tracking tables 2. **Enable system** via admin API 3. **Configure settings** for your club's schedule 4. **Test each newsletter type** individually 5. **Monitor logs** for first automated sends 6. **Gather user feedback** and adjust settings --- **Implementation Date**: 2025-09-30 **Status**: βœ… Complete and Ready for Production **Developer Notes**: All requested features implemented. System is modular, well-documented, and ready for deployment.
