View source for Service - Contact Method (handlers)

= Overview =

One handler service per contact method, examples:
* Email
* SMS
* Izara site notifier
* 3rd party messenger services

Some contact methods are not public and will be special case services that don't follow the projects standard transparency rules.

= Handler Services =

* [[Contact Method Email]]

= DynamoDB tables =

* Each method will manage its own tables according to it's needs

= Notes =

* If method handler disables a contact, keep a record here as disabled, send a message to [[Service - User Contact Manager|User Contact Manager]] service to disable its entry
* contactName is a name set buy the handler services, it is used in the User Contact Manager as the public name shown for the user's contact, it might be the actual contact detail, if the community want that type of contact method to be forced public, up to the handler

= Ideas =

* Adding/changing contact method details will be managed within the handler services, some of this code can be standardized
* Each handler service will send a message to the [[Service - User Contact Manager|User Contact Manager]] service on any pertinent changes (eg change of display tag, disabling a contact option)
