Uninvited users are getting email updates

Uninvited users are getting email updates but they shouldn't get any mail.


We add feature requests on behalf of these users on private boards. At a later moment we go public, but till that moment an uninvited user should not receive updates.

@wesley-van-schaijk Thanks for sharing this. This seems to be an oversight. Ideally, we do send emails to requesters when you create a post on their behalf - but I understand this use-case. People who haven't yet accepted the invite should not get any email notifications.

I'll have this fixed soon.

@pranav-singh Maybe you should draw a line between public or private boards (and when available public/private posts). In case the post is public you should send an email otherwise you shouldn't.


Another suggestion is adding a checkbox to set if you want the user (which you are posting on behalf of) should be included in the loop of notifications or not.

That's a fair idea @wesley-van-schaijk, thank you! Let me think about this a little more and I'll share a final spec with you at the earliest.

I think @wesley-van-schaijk point is spot on! The line should be drawn for private/public boards. Customers should not receive email notifications for any activity on a private board. This can later be extended to #unlisted posts as well.

@wesley-van-schaijk I am sorry that this is taking a little more time than expected. I had to prioritize some work related to infrastructure. I hope to get this fixed by next week.
