Way of Communicating with the Users about observatory-new HOT 6 OPEN

A Mattermost bot would be rather simple, especially since we already use Reqwest. Though it would require some changes to the database and user forms, but those shouldn't be too hard.

Email is inheriently very complicated so using a provider such as SendGrid would be best. Especially since there is an Unoffical SendGrid crate.

Okay so are we just going to go with Mattermost for now? Without getting rid of the email field so that we don't box ourselves into a corner if we do drop Mattermost. You said you also want to validate users on sign up so that we can trust that their Mattermost is correct. Do you still want to do this?

Yeah that's probably the best route for now.

Alright I will get on this ASAP.

Issue: How do we store the username and password for the bot on the server?

After doing some more research if we use the RPI email servers then Email might not be too much of a pain.
