Hum... I'm not getting the IOU email for some reason - nor is the IOU loading in the User B account- I think there might be delays

[Christinadobrzyn]

Asking for some guidance on how to create the IOU - https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C049HHMV9SM/p1716187149930759?thread_ts=1715814647.719679&cid=C049HHMV9SM

I'm not getting these emails

[Christinadobrzyn]

OP is updated and this is reproducible - I think this can be external?

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @hoangzinh (External)

[b4s36t4]

I'm not sure weather this can be external as email templates are sent via backend. The link attached to Pay button is linked to IOU report we need to update the email template to link the DM report.

[Christinadobrzyn]

ah good catch @b4s36t4 - thank you for reviewing that. Going to make this internal

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @hoangzinh is eligible for the Internal assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[Christinadobrzyn]

original discussion here

Looks like this is due for Summer (August) so adding medium priority

[Christinadobrzyn]

asking tom if he can buddy check my thinking on the release timeframe - https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C036QM0SLJK/p1716884563004939

[Christinadobrzyn]

still looking for someone to pick this up.

[melvin-bot]

@hoangzinh @Christinadobrzyn this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[Christinadobrzyn]

hi @techievivek just checking on this, do you think you'll have the bandwidth to work on this or do you want me to try and find another internal volunteer?

[trjExpensify]

@techievivek coming from this convo, I'm moving this into the Guided Setup: Stage 3 project to track to ensure we get to the bottom of it before the next release.

[Christinadobrzyn]

@techievivek can you provide an update for Melvin? TY!

[techievivek]

Sent a PR to fix the behaviour of pay button.

[Christinadobrzyn]

Awesome! Should we move this to weekly @techievivek while the PR is in review?

[trjExpensify]

PR has been deployed, right? I don't think there's payment here for a webPR.

[hoangzinh]

yes @trjExpensify, no payment here.

[trjExpensify]

Great, we're done here then. @danielrvidal is there a CVP test you want to update for this or is it accounted for?

[Christinadobrzyn]

@danielrvidal just checking in on this question when you have a moment!

[Christinadobrzyn]

I'll DM @danielrvidal to check on any other reason to keep this open.

[danielrvidal]

I just tested on mobile/web and it works as expected. I'll update the CVP so it reflects this (I think it already did).

[Christinadobrzyn]

Awesome! thank you Daniel! Closing this out.
