In the mobilitydatabase user registration, the verify email that users receive goes to the junk box in Outlook (gmail is good). The reason for this is due to outlook flagging the email as spam.
The problem
Firebase will not allow us to customize the template of email verification due to spam concerns. The current email looks like this
No branding, basic text.
The solution
Since firebase will not allow us to edit the template of this email to get higher authority, we will have to manually send these emails instead of relying on firebase.
Accepted criteria
- Setting up the external emailing service (Fred mentioned something about Brevo)
- Hook it up in the correct areas of the applicaiton (when users sign up)
- Configure firebase emailing services to stop them from sending the email-verificaiton
- Design a branded looking email verification template to use
