📧 FindYourJobNow — Email Templates

Source: conversionmediagroup/findyourjobnow · src/findyourjobnow/templates/emails/

⚠️ Note: These are Django templates with {% templatetag %} syntax. Variables like {{title}}, {{body}}, {{url}} are filled at send time. Images reference {{SITE_URL}}/static/ so logos won't render here. The alert emails also use coldmail.app as the actual sending service (not SES directly).

Templates Found

basic.html — Standard transactional email (signup, CTA)
basic_alert.html — Alert/drip campaign email (richtext body)
basic.txt — Plain text fallback
base.html — Base layout (header + footer wrapper)
header.html — HTML head with styles, dark mode, fonts
footer.html — Footer with site name + link

📡 Sending Architecture

How emails actually get sent

Two sending paths:

1. SES Direct (common/emails.py)
   └─ basic_email() / alert_email()
   └─ Uses Django's EmailMultiAlternatives
   └─ Header: X-SES-CONFIGURATION-SET: FYJN
   └─ FROM: settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
   └─ For: Transactional (signup, password reset, etc.)

2. ColdMail API (alerts/tasks.py → cold_mail_send_service.py)
   └─ https://my.coldmail.app/api/v1
   └─ Mailbox pool with round-robin rotation
   └─ Pixel tracking via ColdMail
   └─ For: Drip campaigns, job alerts, re-engagement
   └─ Templates stored in DB: EmailAlertsTemplate model
   └─ Scheduling: AdminAlertSchedule → Celery tasks
   └─ Stagger: 1.2s per email + random 0.1-0.4s jitter

Email alert flow:
  Celery beat → check_admin_alerts_schedule()
    → validate_schedule() (checks day-of-week, date range)
    → get_users_or_leads() (filters by edu status, source, etc.)
    → broadcast_email() (fans out with stagger)
      → process_and_send_email()
        → get_email_template() (picks next template in flow, respects repeat limit)
        → send_alert_mail()
          → render basic_alert.html with template body
          → send_email_via_coldmail()

Models:
  - EmailAlertsTemplate: subject + body_template (Django template syntax)
  - EmailAlertsTemplatesFlow: ordered sequence per schedule
  - AdminAlertSchedule: frequency, target audience, date range
  - AdminAlertLogs: sent/opened tracking per recipient
