Email notifications
Outgoing email is planned but not wired up yet — here is what works today and what's coming.
Honest status first: RyTask does not send email today. The in-app inbox works — you get notifications inside the app for assignments, mentions, comments, and the rest. But outgoing email (verification, password reset, invites, notification emails) sits behind a mailer port whose current adapter logs the message instead of sending it. Mailhog already ships in the development stack, ready for the day the real SMTP adapter lands. In the meantime, invites work today via shareable links, so nothing blocks you from bringing your team in.
When email ships, the plan is per-event and digest emails with sensible defaults, an unsubscribe path, and per-user, per-type preferences so you only get the mail you want (FR-NOTIF-003). Granular controls are covered on the notification preferences roadmap page.
What's planned:
- Transactional email — verification, password reset, invites (MVP scope).
- Per-event notification emails — assignment, mention, comment, and similar (MVP scope).
- Digest emails and unsubscribe — batch low-priority events; opt out cleanly (v2).
- Per-project preferences — see notification preferences (MVP scope).
