No Reply Email Address noreply@dwyl.com (antipattern) #468

Took me a while to remember, but there is a reason for this! Unsurprisingly it's The email either comes from a generic address (which we can't specify) or the address of the last person to edit the spreadsheet. To avoid the email coming from a different address every time, we chose to keep it set to the generic BUT we set the reply-to address as Clearly this isn't working so I'll leave a comment on the G+ page |
@nelsonic Can I edit the title here to reflect the autocrat bug that the reply-to email address isn't working? |
Autocrat indeed ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy I've searched the HQ issues for "requirements" for what we need(ed) for invoicing all I can see is: #302 ... @iteles if you are able to update the "from" email address to something that is a valid email address, please do. but given that none of the people who use the "invoicing system" have complained ... if you prefer to just close this issue, please go for it. 👍 |
Closing this issue because the volume of invoices is very low and this isn't an issue for those people. We can't change the from address to anything stable other than 'no-reply' because that is a limitation of the software we are using. The solution here is to use an invoicing system that is fit-for-purpose, which is a separate low priority issue to be opened ((given our current product focus, it will rise in priority as it comes closer in the product roadmap and as requests start to come in for it). |
@iteles then we need to change the "software" we are using. 👎 At the very least we should write a "short" (5 min read) blog post on this ... 💭 |
sending email from a "no reply" is an antipattern we need to avoid.
