Processed requests email notifications

Hi

I believe emails over processed requests could be merged to a single daily email and all responses (body of messages) stacked chronologically, maybe less text in email name and more in body.

…if so, then this text can also be modified:

Receiving only one email per day could mean having to wait too long to receive a notification. For example, if I have only 5 requests, they are processed at 10:00-11:00, and the email is send at 18:00, I know this seven hours after they are processed. If I need to reply or modify something, the process takes too long.

The system know how many request I have, their issuers, and their referees. This information could be used to send the email at the moment or wait for the next request to be processed.

For example, for each member:

• Define
  • list = list of processed requests pending to notify by email
  • time = time when the last email was sent
  • hours = waiting time between notifications (it could be global or a member setting)
• When a request is processed, do this:
  
  add the request into list
  IF
        there are no more pending request of the member
              (best option: in the scope of the referee that processed the request)
        OR
        it is time to send the email (now – time > hours)
  THEN
        send the email with list
        clear list
        save now in time
  END_IF
   
• At any time (for example at 18:00, or every x hours)
  
  IF list is not empty THEN
        send the email with list
        clear list
        save now in time
  END_IF

Wait too long to do what exactly?  You wait two weeks for the referee to ask the question and you're under a time constraint to answer immediately? Or what?  Was this a problem for you before the email notifications when you had to log on to Numista and check the status?  I, for another, don't need 10 emails or more a day. A summary email is all I need.

Wait too long to do what exactly?

It depends on the person: some are happy with a daily notification, while others prefer to know things sooner but without receiving so many emails.

I upvote the request but in my case I prefer one email per request that just one daily email.
