Send a notification to all consultation participants when a new engagement is added.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Consultation participants need to search for new engagements manually.

Describe the solution you'd like

So that consultation participants are aware of engagements, we should send out a notification to all consultation participants when a new engagement is added. (this would only be for engagements that are open). There should also be a setting that allows users to turn off this notification.

It turns out that there is already a notifications settings page, although the functionality hasn't been wired up yet. In speaking with @cherylhjli about it today, she suggested to simplify the page to just include the setting for being notified about all engagements or not.

The setting would look something like:

Would you like to get an email notification of new engagements?

• Yes
• No

We don't need to send it to the dashboard notifications, only an email is needed.

Feed back from Erick:

To answer Cheryl’s question. I think we want to have 2 types of notifications. One that goes through e-mail, for those individuals that might very occasionally log onto TAE, and one that goes to their Dashboard Notifications in case they are logged into the platform, but not checking e-mail.

When it comes to the e-mail notification, reading again your e-mail, I think it makes sense to keep the same messaging for both the external and internal messages. So we can leave what you wrote for both, I would just add one line saying “Check it out":

Suggestions from @cherylhjli:

I think that makes a lot of sense. One small tweak – perhaps for the internal message we can leave out “The Accessibility Exchange” (since they’re already on it) so it reads like this:

A new engagement has been uploaded:
[Engagement name] by [FRO name]
 
Check it out.
[Button: “Go to new engagement”]
