Alerts

We want to notify beekeeper in various cases/features. For that we need a generic way to create and list alerts. We want to store alerts in DB and display them in UI.

User story - alert settings

• User goes to settings page

• Under alerts section
  • sets an alert channel from the select Alert me via: [email]
    • Mobile phone notification (in case its a mobile-app)
    • Email
    • SMS (Twilio?)
    • ⚓Webhooks integration

• Under alert types, he can choose (as checkbox) which alert types he wants to receive (the list should be quite long)
  • swarming risk - 🐝Frame side queen cup detection
  • hornet attacks - ⚠️Hornet attack detection
  • queen is missing - 👑Queen detection
  • queen is failing to lay eggs - ⚠️Frame analysis - spotty brood pattern detection
  • drone cell ratio is too high - 🐝Drone brood detection
  • low/high temperature in the hive
  • swarming has happened
  • custom anomaly - should be tied to 📊Analytics with grafana

User story - receiving a queen missing alert

• User uploads all of the hive frames

• All frames are processed

• No queen is detected
  • Alert is generated
  • alert is shown in the header

    

  • On click, alert popup appears

• Depending on alert channels, it is delivered to the user
  • For email, user receives an email that
    
    hive X has a missing queen
  • Good wording, links, imagery, design is needed - ask 🔲Designer (UX / UI / Industrial)

• Once user has acted upon this alert, user approves an alert effectively hiding/deleting it

Suggested technical solution

Create new alerts microservice

• add new DB that it will use

• add graphql API that it will expose
  • add createAlert mutation
  • add alerts query

• service acts as a proxy. Actual alert generation should be owned by other services that contain the business logic
