Jadpo's own magic-link email

With nothing written, Jadpo sends its own magic-link email, at level 1 of Built-in emails. This topic is how that email is written and sent.

Written by the runtime

Jadpo's email has no templates. The runtime writes its HTML and text from Jadpo's seven email messages, each worded in the email's locale: your app's rewording first, then Jadpo's. {app_name} is the application's display_name:, and expires_in is the duration in words in that locale, such as "15 minutes". Without locales { } the email is in en_gb, in Jadpo's wording.

How it looks

The email is one neutral column at most 480 pixels wide, with inline styles only and no images or fonts. Colours are left to the reader's mail client, except the button's: a dark fill, #1f2937, under white text, a contrast of about 15:1. In order, it has the heading, the line naming the address, the button, and the code line with the six digits set apart, monospaced, spaced and never wrapped, so they read and copy easily. The expiry and ignore lines follow, a size smaller. The text part has the same lines, with the link written out. The whole email is in the locale's direction: dir="rtl" for a right-to-left locale.

Its layout

With your app's layout, the HTML body goes into layout.html as its {{ content }}, and the text into layout.txt. Without one, Jadpo's plain layout is a minimal document: <!DOCTYPE html>, the locale's lang and dir, and the subject as its title.

Its delivery

It is delivered by a subscriber of its own, email jadpo.MagicLinkEmail, tried as an email is. Its outbox payload is the address, the locale and the sign-in request's id, never the link or the code, which are made as it is sent (Magic links).
