THE STAR OF THE SHOW — the automation engine is now visible.
## New: Unified Messaging Layer (src/lib/messaging.ts)
Channel waterfall: WhatsApp → SMS → Email
- sendToDonor() routes to best available channel
- Respects donor consent flags (whatsappOptIn, emailOptIn)
- Falls back automatically if primary channel fails
- Every attempt logged to AnalyticsEvent for dashboard
## New: Email Integration (src/lib/email.ts)
Bring-your-own-key: charity pastes their Resend or SendGrid API key
- Resend: free 3,000 emails/month
- SendGrid: free 100/day
- Messages come from THEIR domain (donations@mymosque.org)
- Plain text auto-converted to clean HTML
## New: SMS Integration (src/lib/sms.ts)
Bring-your-own-key: charity pastes their Twilio credentials
- Pay-as-you-go (~3p per SMS)
- UK number normalization (07xxx → +447xxx)
- Reaches donors without WhatsApp or email
## New: /dashboard/automations — the visible engine
A. Dark hero stats: Messages this week per channel + delivery rate
B. Live channels: WhatsApp/Email/SMS with status, features, stats
C. The Pipeline: visual 4-step automation sequence
- What triggers, what's sent, which channels, waterfall explanation
D. Scheduled reminders: upcoming messages with timing
E. Message feed: recent messages with channel icon, status, time
## New: /api/messaging/status — dashboard data endpoint
Returns channels, stats (7 day), history (50 recent), pending reminders
## New: /api/messaging/test — send test message to admin
## Schema: 8 new Organization columns
emailProvider, emailApiKey, emailFromAddress, emailFromName
smsProvider, smsAccountSid, smsAuthToken, smsFromNumber
## Settings: 2 new channel rows in the checklist
- Email: provider selector (Resend/SendGrid) + API key + from address
- SMS: Twilio credentials + from number
Both follow the same checklist expand/collapse pattern
## Nav: Automations added between Money and Reports
Home → Collect → Money → Automations → Reports → Settings
## Stats tracking
Messages logged as AnalyticsEvent:
message.whatsapp.receipt.sent
message.email.reminder_1.failed
message.sms.reminder_2.sent
Donor PII masked in logs (last 4 digits of phone, email obfuscated)
Model: PNPL never touches the money. Each charity connects their own
Stripe account by pasting their API key in Settings. When a donor
chooses card payment, they're redirected to Stripe Checkout. The money
lands in the charity's Stripe balance.
## Schema
- Organization.stripeSecretKey (new column)
- Organization.stripeWebhookSecret (new column)
## New/rewritten files
- src/lib/stripe.ts — getStripeForOrg(secretKey), per-org client
- src/app/api/stripe/checkout/route.ts — uses org's key, not env var
- src/app/api/stripe/webhook/route.ts — tries all org webhook secrets
- src/app/p/[token]/steps/card-payment-step.tsx — redirect to Stripe
Checkout (no fake card form — Stripe handles PCI)
## Settings page
- New 'Card payments' section between Bank and Charity
- Instructions: how to get your Stripe API key
- Webhook setup in collapsed <details> (optional, for auto-confirm)
- 'Card payments live' green banner when connected
- Readiness bar shows Stripe status (5 columns now)
## Pledge flow
- PaymentStep shows card option ONLY if org has Stripe configured
- hasStripe flag passed from /api/qr/[token] → PaymentStep
- Secret key never exposed to frontend (only boolean hasStripe)
## How it works
1. Charity pastes sk_live_... in Settings → Save
2. Donor opens pledge link → sees 'Bank Transfer', 'Direct Debit', 'Card'
3. Donor picks card → enters name + email → redirects to Stripe Checkout
4. Stripe processes payment → money in charity's Stripe balance
5. (Optional) Webhook auto-confirms pledge as paid
Payment options:
- Bank Transfer: zero fees (default, always available)
- Direct Debit via GoCardless: 1% + 20p (if org configured)
- Card via Stripe: standard Stripe fees (if org configured)
Stripe was wired up but never used:
- No STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in .env
- Card payment step had a 'simulated fallback' that pretended to charge
- Stripe fees (1.4% + 20p) contradict '100% goes to charity' brand promise
- Bank transfer is the primary rail, GoCardless (DD) is the secondary
Removed:
- src/lib/stripe.ts (Stripe client, checkout sessions, webhooks)
- src/app/api/stripe/checkout/route.ts
- src/app/api/stripe/webhook/route.ts
- src/app/p/[token]/steps/card-payment-step.tsx (263 lines)
- 'stripe' and '@stripe/stripe-js' npm packages
- Card option from PaymentStep (payment-step.tsx)
- Card references from confirmation-step.tsx, success/page.tsx
- Stripe from landing page integrations grid
- Stripe from privacy policy sub-processors
- Stripe from terms of service payment references
Type Rail changed: 'bank' | 'gocardless' | 'card' → 'bank' | 'gocardless'
Pledge flow bundle: 19.5kB → 18.2kB (-1.3kB)
Payment options donors now see:
1. Bank Transfer (recommended, zero fees)
2. Direct Debit via GoCardless (1% + 20p, hassle-free)
