# Admin Complaint Notification Email Fix ## Problem When a new complaint was created, the admin notification email was being sent as plain text without using the branded HTML email template system. ## Root Cause The `notify_admins_new_complaint()` function in `apps/complaints/tasks.py` was generating plain text emails with bilingual content (English/Arabic) but not rendering any HTML template. **Location:** `apps/complaints/tasks.py` lines 2408-2500 ## Solution ### 1. Created New Email Template **File:** `templates/emails/new_complaint_admin_notification.html` **Features:** - ✅ Extends `emails/base_email_template.html` for consistent branding - ✅ Hospital logo header with gradient background - ✅ Priority/severity badges with color coding: - 🔴 Critical - 🟠 High - 🟡 Medium - đŸŸĸ Low - ✅ Complaint details grid (reference, title, priority, severity, status) - ✅ Patient information section (name, MRN, phone, email) - ✅ Hospital/department section - ✅ Description preview - ✅ Action required notice - ✅ View complaint CTA button - ✅ Professional footer with hospital branding ### 2. Updated Task Function **File:** `apps/complaints/tasks.py` **Changes:** 1. Added import: `from django.template.loader import render_to_string` 2. Updated `notify_admins_new_complaint()` function (line 2436) 3. Now renders HTML template with complaint context 4. Sends both HTML and plain text versions **Code Changes:** ```python # Before: Plain text only message_en = f"""Dear {admin.get_full_name() or 'Admin'}, A new complaint has been submitted...""" NotificationService.send_email( email=admin.email, subject=subject_en, message=message_en, # Plain text only ... ) # After: HTML + Plain text context = { 'admin_name': admin.get_full_name() or 'Admin', 'priority_badge': priority_badge, 'is_high_priority': is_high_priority, 'reference_number': complaint.reference_number, 'complaint_title': complaint.title, 'priority': complaint.priority, 'severity': complaint.severity, # ... more context variables } html_message = render_to_string( 'emails/new_complaint_admin_notification.html', context ) NotificationService.send_email( email=admin.email, subject=subject_en, message=message_text, # Plain text fallback html_message=html_message, # HTML template ⭐ NEW ... ) ``` ## Email Template Structure ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Al Hammadi Hospital Logo (Gradient Header) │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 📋 New Complaint Notification │ │ A new complaint has been submitted... │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ [🚨 URGENT: High Priority Complaint] │ │ (Shown only for high priority) │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Complaint Details │ │ ┌──────────────â”Ŧ──────────────┐ │ │ │ Reference │ Title │ │ │ │ Priority │ Severity │ │ │ │ Status │ Submitted │ │ │ └──────────────┴──────────────┘ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 👤 Patient Information │ │ Name | MRN | Phone | Email │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ đŸĨ Hospital & Department │ │ Hospital Name | Department Name │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ 📝 Description │ │ (Complaint description preview) │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ✓ Action Required │ │ Please review and activate... │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ [View Complaint Button] │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ â„šī¸ Notification Information │ │ Type: Working Hours / After Hours │ │ Time: 2026-03-12 10:30:00 │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ PX360 Complaint Management System │ │ Al Hammadi Hospital │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Testing ### To Test: 1.
