Inviting hub members via email

Ok I read the whole discussion to understand your point better, so from my understanding there are two cases:

  • the hub manager wants to invite hub members (=other managers in the case of buying groups for instance) : then we could simply set up while reworking on the “add a manager” process that when you add a manager, he is automatically added to the customer list of the hub (which seems reasonable, I guess if you can manage you can shop in the case of a private shop…). That would avoid the hub manager to add them both in the manager field and then in the customer field. Maybe that should be added to the issue https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/issues/1593
  • the hub manager wants to invite private shop customers: then after having thought again on it, it seem of to me actually to say that if you deliberatly add a customer through the “add customer button” it triggers a welcome email to that customer like “you have been invited to shop at [name of the hub], click here to access the shop!” It can actually apply also to non-private shop.
    If the hub manager doesn’t want an email to be triggered, we can maybe have a checkbox in the “new customer” form : Don’t notify the customer.
    That would be one thing to add to the issue https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/issues/1493

Do you agree @enricostn @Kirsten @sauloperez @Rachel @danielle @tschumilas @sstead ?
