[Aging Content] Drupal: Implement Aging Content Notifications for Home Page Promo and Home Page News Spotlight Blocks

[jilladams]

Status

[2024-07-08] Per Michelle M, we're holding on this for now. We may decide to close this in the near future. Also, converted to an Epic and if we resurrect, we can create associated tickets.
[2024-03-27] Will be in Stretch/Next Sprint as a candidate for Sprint 108. Daniel will pull into 107 toward the end of the sprint if he's able to, but it's not formally planned for that sprint.

Description

Using the new Framework developed in Initiative 1, wire up Home Page News Spotlight Block and Home Page Benefit Promo Block to the new framework, and implement:

• a 30-day expiration for each block content type
• a 3 days prior to the expiration date warning notification email
• an expiration date warning notification email

ACs

Preview Give feedback

1. Configure Home Page Benefit Promo blocks with a 30 day expiration
2. Configure Home Page News Spotlight blocks with a 30 day expiration
3. "Expired" email message is sent on the content's expiration date, and then daily to all editors of published, expired Home Page Benefit Promo Blocks and Home Page News Spotlight blocks
4. "Expiring" email message is sent three days prior to expiration date, and then daily to all editors of published, expiring Home Page Benefit Promo Blocks and Home Page News Spotlight blocks
5. Recipient for both email notification types is editor in the the last saved by an editor field (the user who last saved the node), rather than the original node author.
6. Enter a list (TBD) of allowed recipients such that the notifications can be delivered to hand-picked users only, allowing for a staged roll out to early adopters

Text for Emails

Home Page Benefit Promo Block

Expiring Email Notification aka 3 days prior to expiration

Subject: Please update or archive your Home Page Benefit Promo Block by [Day 30 Date]

Please plan to archive, or edit to extend display of, your published Home Page Benefit Promo Block titled [content title / link] by [Expiration Date aka Day 30].

As a reminder, Home Page Benefit Promo Blocks are used to help Veterans learn about new or changed benefits and services that may affect them. The intent here is to provide just enough information to help Veterans decide if they want to read more on another page and should display for 30-days, unless there’s a compelling reason to extend display of the content.

If you do need to extend the display of the content, simply edit with a comment to that effect, and the 30-day countdown window will reset.

For more information, you can read this Knowledge Base article for tips and best practices to manage compliance.

Coming Soon:

In the near future, Home Page Benefit Promo Blocks will be permanently auto-archived at the end of Day 30, unless edited to reset the 30-day timeframe. We will give ample notice before this auto-archival feature is released.

@FranECross can you clarify on this ticket -- it's in sprint 2, but assigned to you. Should we have in sprint yet? I forget what was happening with this one.

[FranECross]

@jilladams Thanks for pinging me on this one! We shouldn't have it in Sprint 2 because it's been deprioritized due to the taxonomy work. I should have scooted it back to Ready, at the bottom of the pile and will do that now.

[FranECross]

@dsasser Just an FYI - per Michelle M., at this time we're not going to move forward with wiring up these blocks to Aging Content Notifications. Not sure if/when we'll resurrect.

[FranECross]

Closing per note above. We will resurrect or create a new ticket if this comes up in future.
