Emails that get sent out on various site actions

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a list of various “events” that emails should be sent out on.
Example: user registers with site, or a user takes a test.

And I want the admin user to be able to configure what email addresses
should receieve the emails that get sent out on the events. Example:
[email protected] and [email protected] get an email when a user registers, and
[email protected] gets an email when a user takes a test.

Any advice? My initial approach would be to create a table called
email_events:

id
key
email_addresses (comma-deliminated list of addresses)

And then, when a user registers, it looks up the ‘User_Registration’
key in email_events and sends emails out to all the email addresses.

I haven’t done much work with email handling in Rails, so I don’t know
if there’s a better way to integrate this with ActionMailer.

Thanks!
Joe

Joe,

I am a Ruby N. but have dealt with this matter before.

imho using (trigger or event) groups is rather easy. If an event gets
triggered al recipients in the group are mailed. Correctly normalized in
a db
this would result in at least two tables related with
“has_many_and_belongs_to”.

Regards,

Gerard.
