I would like to work on this

@tmyracle Been digging a bunch and can't find anything. :( Will keep looking, but not looking great.

Whoever would like to work on, go for it. Generally speaking, if you start working on, create a draft PR to show your progress.

That can help reduce multiple people working on the same issue.

I'm still on it, please see #117 . Having a hard time testing with Postmark, though. Can't send an email to my private address 😅 Probably need to set up an own domain so I can test this.

What's missing now is:

• UI for actually resetting the email + hooking it up with the BE to do the reset

@Shpigford do you happen to have screenshots/examples?

@eneskaya depends on what we decide to use for templating moving forward, my vote would be for React Email mentioned above since you can write emails as react components and it takes care of cross-client support and generating the html for you. Might have to put this on pause until we get a templating solution in place.

I was talking about where to put them in the monorepo 😁 But let me create a new issue for the email templates, and we can discuss there

Same, I'd love to help on this

[tmyracle]

@eneskaya are the email templates managed in Postmark itself? I can't seem to find any in the repo and looks like its just referencing them by id. Might make sense to move to something like React Email so that the templates are in source control and you can style them with React and Tailwind. They also play nice with Postmark, Resend, Nodemailer, SendGrid, Plunk, and AWS SES

There were indeed templates managed in Postmark, but we closed that account so lost access to them. :(

That is a very good point. Right now I'm setting a raw text body, but wanted to bring up whether having the templates in the code base wouldn't make more sense. React Email would be a perfect candidate here, I agree! I will add it.

The issue still remains though with local testing, but we could wait with that until we have SMTP support, which would make testing easier.

@tmyracle Where exactly would you put the email templates?
