## 🗄️ Database Changes

### New Tables (3)
```sql
newsletter_sent_log          -- Tracks all sent newsletters
match_notifications          -- Prevents duplicate match alerts
blog_notifications           -- Prevents duplicate blog alerts
```

### Modified Tables
None - all required fields already existed in:
- `newsletter_subscriptions` (preferences JSONB)
- `settings` (newsletter configuration fields)
- `email_log` & `email_event` (analytics)

## 🔧 Configuration

### Required Settings in Database (`settings` table)
```sql
newsletter_enabled = true                -- Master toggle
enable_weekly = true                     -- Enable weekly digest
enable_match_reminders = true            -- Enable match alerts
enable_results = true                    -- Enable result notifications
newsletter_weekly_day = 'sun'            -- Day for weekly (sun/mon/tue/wed/thu/fri/sat)
newsletter_weekly_hour = 9               -- Hour for weekly (0-23)
newsletter_reminder_lead_hours = 48      -- Hours before match for first alert
newsletter_quiet_start = 22              -- Don't send results between these hours
newsletter_quiet_end = 8                 -- (22:00 - 08:00)
```

### Environment Variables (Optional)
```bash
NEWSLETTER_ENABLED=true                  # Can be overridden by DB setting
NEWSLETTER_INTERVAL_HOURS=24             # Legacy setting for old scheduler
```

## 🚀 How to Use

### 1. 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"}'
```

## 🔄 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

## 📊 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
```

## 🐛 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 |
