Expose all system generated emails as .liquid files

[binaryben]

Describe the Improvement

The notification email for in-app notifications should be exposed as a .liquid file so that users can customise it. If possible, it may be worth seeing if any other system emails are generated that should be customisable and exposed in a template.

From what I can tell, all email templates reside here, which at the moment include:

• password-reset
• user-invitation

At a minimum, Directus is sending out at least one other type of email, which is the email sent to notify a user of a new in-app notification.

In addition, the documentation states that when a person is mentioned by typing the @ symbol, an email will be sent directing them to the comment.

H/T @connorwinston for pointing out these types of emails just use the base.liquid file. Would mentions and emailed notifications be served well by a single new notification.liquid template which would probably be blank except for referencing base.liquid?

I have customized all three available email template files:

• base.liquid
• password-reset.liquid
• user-invitation.liquid

After doing this, I have noticed the following:

Emails sent alongside in-app notifications do not use the base.liquid template. Also, there is no specific template available for this email.

Emails sent from @ mentions in a comment do use the base.liquid template, but there is no specific template available for this email either.

So, at a minimum, there are these two additional emails which need a template file to customize. In addition, the base.liquid template is being ignored in the in-app notification email.

Also, there currently seems to be no way to customize the email subject for any emails sent by Directus.

Also, the base.liquid file makes reference to a footer block, but I don't see any reference to it in the documentation, and again, no .liquid template file available.
