Email speakers when videos are published #1259
Comments
Some ad-hoc requirements gathering from IRC:
|
I'm currently working on a "generic webhook" feature for our publishing scripts which would maybe help here: voc/voctopublish#109 (feedback welcome) (Requires changing the API on the website though) |
I'm not 100% on emailing the speaker in the case of missing recording - there may be more nuance to it than a generic catch all "something went wrong" message, and in any case I think I'd rather email them with a more personal message and a name attached rather than a "cold" website email. Of course, that's just me and it's probably better they get something rather than nothing - so maybe the best course is to proceed but also send them a more human email? Just thinking out loud. |
Agreed. I don't think we should automatically email people with lost recordings. We should probably send an alert to the CfP channel instead, so someone from the Content team can reach out directly and discuss with the speaker. That assumes this is a relatively rare occurrence? |
Historically it has not really been a rare occurrence but I'm hopeful we won't have any lost recordings this year, so I'm happy to skip that for the moment at least. |
…recordings are lost. Ref: discussion at #1259
Some goalpost-moving, sorry:
|
If we do this, we should make sure that we include copy in the email telling them that the video will also be published on YouTube at a later date, just so they know this is happening. |
In its current implementation, the c3voc webhook will set the youtube url as well, even if the youtube videos are set to private. (There is currently no indication on whether the videos are publicly available, but we can implement that) |
The main considerations here are:
I wonder if we can easily check if the youtube video is public when we send the email? Or c3voc could do that and send us an updated webhook. Or we just omit the youtube URL from the email and say "Your video will be published on youtube soon", but that still means we'll be linking to a private YT video from our talk pages. |
Would applying both of those suggestions in combination provide a complete-enough solution? Gradual release of YouTube videos to channels would then (I think?) be isolated from the email-notification logic. |
Sorry, I missed one aspect of the requirements:
I don't like that I keep missing important details and adding distraction, so I'm going to step back from this. |
It would be good to email speakers a link to their talk video when it's published. Some thoughts:
