no issue
- if emails are older than 30 days we wouldn't be able to fetch any analytics for them and if a site used emails in the past but is no longer using them it doesn't make sense to keep potentially expensive background worker threads spinning up
no issue
- recurring jobs spin up worker threads which can be quite CPU intensive even when not performing much processing, this can be problematic in environments where there are many Ghost instances running
- updated the email job scheduling to be skipped on bootup when there are no emails in the database and to be started when the first email is created as long as we're not in testing env
- increase analytics job schedule from every 2 minutes to every 5 minutes to help spread the load further across instances
- users imported from CSV with no created_at date where having their created_at date being stored as an int rather than a datetime.
- this was causing parsing issues with the graph so this commit fixes the formatting
no issue
- the 4.2.0 version of `sqlite3` that we're using is not compatible with `worker_threads`
- 5.0.0 should add support this but there are other errors
- 5.0.1 is released but not published (https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/issues/1386)
no issue
- added `EmailAnalyticsService`
- `.fetchAll()` grabs and processes all available events
- `.fetchLatest()` grabs and processes all events since the last seen event timestamp
- `EventProcessor` passed event objects and updates `email_recipients` or `members` records depending on the event being analytics or list hygiene
- always returns a `EventProcessingResult` instance so that progress can be tracked and merged across individual events, batches (pages of events), and total runs
- adds email_id and member_id to the returned result where appropriate so that the stats aggregator can limit processing to data that has changed
- sets `email_recipients.{delivered_at, opened_at, failed_at}` for analytics events
- sets `members.subscribed = false` for permanent failure/unsubscribed/complained list hygiene events
- `StatsAggregator` takes an `EventProcessingResult`-like object containing arrays of email ids and member ids on which to aggregate statistics.
- jobs for `fetch-latest` and `fetch-all` ready for use with the JobsService
- added `initialiseRecurringJobs()` function to Ghost bootup procedure that schedules the email analytics "fetch latest" job to run every minute

We no longer want to filter out cancelled subscriptions, so we are able
to remove the whereIn clause of the relation.
* Fixed paid flag on member
* Fixed content gating for members
Now that the subscriptions for a member include all of them, we must
explicitly check that the member has an active subscription in order to
consider them "paid"
no issue
- the `'bulk-email`' tag was only being added to bulk emails if another more specific tag was set up via config
- we always want the `'bulk-email'` tag to be present for better event filtering
refs #12366
This implements redirection based on the settings for successful member sign up!
- Removes support for redirecting to `req.path` afterwards, this was never used and
we now have a more configurable implementation.
- Retains redirection to the homepage for unsuccessful sign up (invalid/expired token)
no-issue
We want to give users to ability to customise the content of their newsletter, and the first step
toward that is a setting in which we can store text or html to embed in the template
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/12355
- Adds new default settings for newsletter customisations - `newsletter_show_badge`, `newsletter_show_header` and `newsletter_body_font_category`
- Adds migrations to update group for new settings
- Add migration to update settings based on existing config value for newsletter settings
- Passes new newsletter settings to newsletter template and updates design based on them
- Fix tests
no-issue
* Used email_recipient_filter in MEGA
This officially decouples the newsletter recipients from the post
visibility allowing us to send emails to free members only
* Supported enum for send_email_when_published in model
This allows us to migrate from the previously used boolean to an enum
when we eventually rename the email_recipient_filter column to
send_email_when_published
* Updated the posts API to handle email_recipient_filter
We now no longer rely on the send_email_when_published property to send
newsletters, meaning we can remove the column and start cleaning up the
new columns name
* Handled draft status changes when emails not sent
We want to reset any concept of sending an email when a post is
transition to the draft status, if and only if, and email has not
already been sent. If an email has been sent, we should leave the email
related fields as they were.
* Removed send_email_when_published from add method
This is not supported at the model layer
* Removed email_recipient_filter from v2&Content API
This should not be exposed on previous api versions, or publicly
* Removed reference to send_email_when_published
This allows us to move completely to the email_recipient_filter
property, keeping the code clean and allowing us to delete the
send_email_when_published column in the database. We plan to then
migrate _back_ to the send_email_when_published name at both the
database and api level.
no issue
- set `emails.track_opens` to `true` when the `enableDeveloperExperiments` flag is set
- update mailgun bulk-email provider to pass the open-tracking header to Mailgun when the email's `track_opens` flag is set
no issue
- adding user variables via the mailgun API when sending emails means that events related to email have those variables attached to them
- adding the `email.id` value to user variables means we can easily associate mailgun events to emails, otherwise we'd have look up the batch via `email_batches.provider_id` then use a join to get back to the associated email
no issue
The email change verification template was using the same as for `subscribe`, which did not have the right messaging that needs to be communicated about the action thats happening in this case. Updates the email template to same as what we use for email verification for support/newsletter address

- Members settings were moved to a new page [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-Admin/pull/1736)
- updated members related redirect for from/newsletter email address change to point to new page
no issue
- In a case where support address is null, member's site data won't load as there was no fallback.
- The fix adds default `noreply` as the support address for site data
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/12257
- there was a destructuring problem introduced in the recent email refactor which meant the correct replacement data was not being passed over to the Mailgun provider when sending email
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/12259
- adds a `DISTINCT` to the query used to fetch member rows when generating an email recipient list
- this increases query time 2.7s vs 1.6s locally with ~94k paid members but once the `members.paid` column is implemented this slow query can be removed
no issue
- fixed passing of errors up through send/processBatch/processEmail
- fixed errant overwrite of email status with a "submitted" status after a failure had occurred
no issue
- wrap email batch/recipient record creation in a transaction so if an error occurs during creation we're not left with a partially created batch/recipient set in the database
no issue
- if an error occurred whilst creating email batch/recipient records the email status was never updated and was left in the 'pending' status
- adjusted the error handling to update the email status and record the error message if such a scenario occurs
no issue
- the paid-member SQL query that is obtained using `models.Member.getFilteredCollectionQuery({paid: true})` can return multiple columns with the same name (eg, `email`, `name`), when that happens the last column with duplicate names "wins" and it's value is used in the resulting knex row instance
- in the `mega` service when fetching email recipient rows we ran into this problem, to avoid it we adjust the query to explicitly select only the data from the `members` table
no issue
- we've had an issue with emails failing due to unexpectedly missing data when inserting email recipient rows
- added a validation check before adding recipient details along with a log so that invalid data can be investigated
no issue
- there was an typo in the recent email sending refactor that resulted in `Error: 'to' parameter is missing` errors when sending email previews and bulk emails
closes#12244
As per RFC 6454 the Origin header MUST be set to the string 'null' when
in a "privacy-sensitive" context. We were not handling this string and
this was causing errors. This commit updates all checks of the 'Origin'
header to treat the value 'null' as if the header was not present.

no issue
- store raw content in email record
- keep any replacement strings in the html/plaintext content so that it can be used when sending email rather than needing to re-serialize the post content which may have changed
- split post email serializer into separate serialization and replacement parsing functions
- serialization now returns any email content that is derived from the post content (subject/html/plaintext) rather than post content plus replacements
- `parseReplacements` has been split out so that it can be run against email content rather than a post, this allows mega and the email preview service to work with the stored email content
- move mailgun-specific functionality into the mailgun provider
- previously mailgun-specific behaviour was spread across the post email serializer, mega, and bulk-email service
- the per-batch `send` functionality was moved from the `bulk-email` service to the mailgun provider and updated to take email content, recipient info, and replacement info so that all mailgun-specific headers and replacement formatting can be handled in one place
- exposes the `BATCH_SIZE` constant because batch sizes are limited to what the provider allows
- `bulk-email` service split into three methods
- `send` responsible for taking email content and recipients, parsing replacement info from the email content and using that to collate a recipient data object, and finally coordinating the send via the mailgun provider. Usable directly for use-cases such as test emails
- `processEmail` takes an email ID, loads it and coordinates sending related batches concurrently
- `processEmailBatch` takes an email_batch ID, loads it along with associated email_recipient records and passes the data through to the `send` function, updating the batch status as it's processed
- `processEmail` and `processEmailBatch` take IDs rather than objects ready for future use by job-queues, it's best to keep job parameters as minimal as possible
- refactored `mega` service
- modified `getEmailData` to collate email content (from/reply-to/subject/html/plaintext) rather than being responsible for dealing with replacements and mailgun-specific replacement formats
- used for generating email content before storing in the email table, and when sending test emails
- from/reply-to calculation moved out of the post-email-serializer into mega and extracted into separate functions used by `getEmailData`
- `sendTestEmail` updated to generate `EmailRecipient`-like objects for each email address so that appropriate data can be supplied to the updated `bulk-email.send` method
- `sendEmailJob` updated to create `email_batches` and associated `email_recipients` records then hand over processing to the `bulk-email` service
- member row fetching extracted into a separate function and used by `createEmailBatches`
- moved updating of email status from `mega` to the `bulk-email` service, keeps concept of Successful/FailedBatch internal to the `bulk-email` service
requires https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/12192
- added initial `EmailBatch` and `EmailRecipient` model definitions with defaults and relationships
- added missing `post` relationship function to email model
- fetch member list without bookshelf
- bookshelf can add around 3x overhead when fetching the members list for an email
- we don't need full members at this point, only having the data is fine
- if we need full models later on we can push the model hydration into background jobs where recipient batches are fetched ready for an email to be sent
- bookshelf model instantiation of many models blocks the event loop, using knex directly keeps concurrent requests fast
- adds `getFilteredCollectionQuery` method to base model to facilitate getting a knex query based on our normal model filters along with transaction/forUpdate applied
- store recipient list before sending email
- chunk already-fetched members list into batches and insert records into the `email_recipients` table via knex
- chunked into batches of 1000 to match the number of emails that Mailgun accepts in a single API request but this may not be the absolute fastest batch size for recipient insertion:
| Batch size | Batch time | Total time |
| ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| 500 | 20ms | 4142ms |
| 1000 | 50ms | 4651ms |
| 5000 | 170ms | 3540ms |
| 10000 | 370ms | 3684ms |
- create an email_batch record before inserting recipient rows so we can effeciently fetch recipients by batch and store the overall batch status
no issue
- The accent_color setting was being removed from members site data when behind portal flag
- The accent color setting is now allowed in members site data for all cases as it doesn't make any sense to remove it specifically from here where we already have all the other Portal settings included which is a dev/portal flag feature anyways
closes#12038
Previously we were emitting changed events for _all_ settings which would
cause any listeners for those to be triggered, this ensures that listeners are
only triggered if the corresponding setting, _did_ in fact change.

- When password reset link is invalid previous messaging left the user
without clear information about why the reset failed and what they could do about it.
- Updated messaging around password reset tokens including detection of
when password token has invalid structure, has expired or has already
been used
This reverts commit 80af56b530.
- reverting temporarily so that all associated functionality can be merged in a single release
- creating email batch/recipient records without using them would cause inconsistent data
no-issue
* Added SingleUseTokenProvider to members service
This implements the TokenProvider interface required by members-api to
generate magic links. It handles checking if the token is expired and
pulls out any associated data.
Future improvments may include the email in the error for expired
tokens, which would make resending a token simpler.
* Passed SingleUseTokenProvider to members-api
This sets up the members-api module to use the new single use tokens
* Installed @tryghost/members-api@0.30.0
This includes the change to allow us to pass a token provider to the members-api
no issue
- In a recent change to ownership verification email flow, we changed the FROM address of ownership verification mails to use the same email as the one we are verifying, aka TO address.
- Email clients like Gmail flags off such emails as possible spam
- Fix updates the `FROM` address to `noreply@domain.com` where domain.com is domain for TO address
- In case the TO is already noreply@domain.com, we use no-reply@domain.com to bypass the same address restriction.
no issue
- Members site data was not appending blog domain for default support address which is `noreply`
- The change allows Portal to use default support address correctly

- When the routes.yaml file changes (manually or through API) we need
to store a checksum to be able to optimize routes reloads in the future
- Added mechanism to detect differences between stored and current routes.yaml hash value
- Added routes.yaml sync on server boot
- Added routes.yaml handling in controllers
- Added routes hash synchronization method in core settings. It lives in core settings
as it needs access to model layer. To avoid coupling with the frontend settings it accepts
a function which has to resolve to a routes hash
- Added note about settings validation side-effect. It mutates input!
- Added async check for currently loaded routes hash
- Extended frontend settings loader with async loader. The default behavior of the loader is
to load settings syncronously for reasons spelled in 0ac19dcf84
To avoid blocking the eventloop added async loading method
- Refactored frontend setting loader for reusability of settings file path
- Added integrity check test for routes.yaml file

- The member-api package was recently updated to work directly with models and needs explicit `withRelated` options to attack relations
- Without options, the endpoint was returning the default member data without subscriptions attached, which in Portal showed paid member as free
- Fix updates the middleware for updating member data to correctly pass the relations needed to populate the member
no issue
- By default for new sites, support address is set same as from address to `noreply` , with full email address using the domain for `@`
- For newsletter emails, the support address was missing the default site domain to be added to address if its `noreply`
- Fix updates the support address to use the same format as from address and add relevant domain for default case

- The `update` method in members-api package was edited to return Model object instead of JSON directly - TryGhost/Members@a28bcc5
- This unsubscribe handler was returning the raw member object returned from `update` method, which is now a model object and not able to access `member.email`
- Fix updates the unsubscribe request handler to return the member JSON again
no issue
- We used existing "from" address as sender for mails sent to new email address for verification, but that breaks the flow to update if the current "from" address has DMARC policy set.
- This updates the flow to always send the ownership verification email TO the new address and FROM the new address which both verifies the email deliverability for new address and ownership
no issue
- The newsletter emails are sent out with `from` address as sender
- The new `members_reply_address` setting is now used to set reply-to address for emails, which can be either newsletter or support address
no issue
- Member auth emails were previously using the `from` address as sender
- New `members_support_address` was introduced with default as original "from" address
- Auth emails use the new support address as sender
no issue
- Updated magic link generation and validation methods for email update API to handle new support address
- Updated importer to ignore the new support address as it can only be updated via verification
- Updated members service to listen on settings edit for new support/reply address fields as well
- Updated tests to include the new settings
no issue
- Added default settings for the two new setting fields - `members_support_address` and `members_reply_address`
- Added migrations for setting group for new email settings
- Migration sets current from address as new support address default
- Added migration to set new support address same as from address
- Updated tests for new settings
- `members_support_address` - How members can reach for help with their account, public setting
- `members_reply_address` - Where you receive responses to newsletters
no issue
- When an import was done and there were no "global labels" present Ghost created generic `import-[data]` label which later helped to find a specific batch of imported data
- It did not make sense to create such generic label when user provided their own unique label
- The rules that work now are:
1. When there is no global provided Ghost generates on and removes it in case there are no imported records
2. When there is a unique new global label provided no new label is generated, but the label stays even if there are no imported records
no issue
- tested performance between knex raw, knex `count()` and bookshelf `count()` and found no difference over 1000 iterations of each (each ~19,500ms +- 500ms for 104k members locally)
- switched to using bookshelf as the code is the simplest
no issue
- This is handled on input sanitization layer with date
format check in JSON schema validation, so there's no need to do this
check again in the importer.
no issue
- When bulk insert fails there is no transactional logic to revert
related records form being inserted. Also, previously there were no
attempts to "retry" the insert.
- To avoid complex retry logic, an iterative one-by-one insert retry
approach was taken. If this becomes a bottleneck in the future, the
retry algorithm could be improved.
- To avoid a lot of code duplication refactored model's `bulkAdd` & `bulkDestroy`
methods to use 'bulk-operations' module.
- Updated error handling and logging for bulk delete operations. It's very
unlikely for error to happen here, but still need to make sure there is
a proper logging in place to trace back the failure.
- Added debug logs. This should improve debugging experience and
performance measurements.
- Added handling for unrecognized errors. Handling inspired by current unrecognized
error handling by ghost importer -10e5d5f3d4/core/server/data/importer/importers/data/base.js (L148-L154)
no issue
- updates `@tryghost/kg-default-cards` which contains two fixes
- removes email-specific output being added to post html (had no visual impact due to use of conditional comments but keeps rendered html smaller+cleaner)
- adds a background-url style to the thumbnail container to give two options for styling
- updates member email template styling to hide the `<img>` element in bookmark cards and use a background image instead to get consistent rendering across email clients
no issue
- adds a `members:emailTemplate` config object
- `showSiteHeader` - defaults to `true`, shows the site title and icon in member emails
- `showPoweredBy` - defaults to `false`, adds a "Publish with Ghost" button to member email footer
- updates member newsletter email template with hideable site header and "powered by" badge

- The `update` method in members-api package was edited to return Model object instead of JSON directly [here](a28bcc5b2a)
- This caused the update member API on member endpoint to return partial response only as most properties couldn't be fetched
- Fix updates the middleware to correctly call `toJSON` before formatting response
no issue
- Similar handling to one introduced in 8418c829de
- Having granular tracking for failed to remove id's would make it possible to return more specific errors to the client
no issue
- When batch insert fails handling should be more granular and aim to retry and insert as many records from the batch as possible.
- Added retry logic for failed member's batch inserts. It's a sequential insert for each record in the batch. This implementation was chosen to keep it as simple as possible
- Added filtering of "toCreate" records when member fails to insert. We should not try inserting related members_labels/members_stripe_customers/members_stripe_customer_subscriptions records because they would definitely fail insertion without associated member record
no issue
- When stripe is disconnected and there are Stripe-connected records present in imported set they should not be processed and proper error should be thrown

- once the email content has been rendered in the post serializer, perform some whole-content transformation of `figure` and `figcaption` to `div` using cheerio

closes#12078
- Root cause was that pseudo class .kg-bookmark-author:after was not getting inlined to email newsletter or its preview.
- That is where the margin and bullet-point content are added between author and publisher.
- Dependency juice supports an option inlinePseudoElements which is false by default.
- Fix was to set inlinePseudoElements to true when serializing post email.

* Added bulkAdd method to Member,Customer&Subscription model
This allows us to keep the db access in the model layer
* Updated @tryghost/members-api to 0.27.2
This includes fixes for rate-limiting of requests, and exposes necessary
Stripe methods for creating customers and complimentary subscriptions,
without affecting the database.
* Refactored importer to parallelise tasks where possible
By parallelising our tasks we are able to improve the speed at which the
entire import completes.
no issue
- There were many failed import records due to rate-limit errors. With concurrency of 9 imports go through with 100% success
- Would need to verify these limits with live API to make the most of it
no issue
- we output the post excerpt in a hidden div in the email template so that email clients pick it up as the "preview" text when listing emails
- when no custom excerpt is provided the preview text is grabbed from post.excerpt which is the first 500 chars of the post.plaintext value
- post.plaintext formats links as "Link [http://url/]" which is unwanted in html email previews
- add a basic replacement to the post email serializer to remove any `[http://url/]` occurrences from the post excerpt before rendering the email content
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/11536
- Outlook supports `'` as a special char for apostrophes but not `&#apos;` which is what cheerio/juiced render
- adds a basic string placement to the email serializer to switch to the older style of special char
no issue
- moves the meat of `pendingEmailHandler()` code into a new function `sendEmailJob()` that is passed over to the new job service
- lets the server keep processing email generation and sending when it receives a shutdown request rather than halting processing mid-send and ending up in a partial state
no-issue
* Added stripeSubscriptions relation to member model
This allows us to fetch the subscriptions for a member via standard
model usage, e.g. `withRelated: ['stripeSubscriptions']` rather than
offloading to loops and `decorateWithSubscriptions` functions, this is
more performant and less non-standard than the existing method.
* Updated serialize methods to match existing format
The current usage of `decorateWithSubscriptions` and the usage of
members throughout the codebase has a subscriptions array on a stripe
object on the member, this ensures that when we serialize members to
JSON that we are using the same format.
There is definitely room to change this in future, but this is an
attempt to create as few breaking changes as possible.
* Installed @tryghost/members-api@0.26.0
This includes the required API changes so that everywhere can use
members-api directly rather than models and/or helper methods
no issue
- The code in controller was becoming hard to reason about.
- Having a single module shows exactly how many dependencies are there to do an import for single batch.
- Having a separate module would make it easier to extract into it's own package in Members monorepo
