Why

A silently broken install, or charts that silently freeze at the event cap, both read as "the product stopped working" to someone who doesn't log in every day — and today neither triggers any outbound notice.

Stacked on #451.

What

  • Usage alerts: 80% warning + 100% exceeded emails to org admins, triggered in the sessions job where the usage counter is computed. Dedupe markers (usageWarningSentAt / usageExceededSentAt) reset on billing-cycle rollover and limit raises via the Polar webhook. New in-app ≥80% banner; the exceeded banner now says explicitly that events are still collected and only chart display pauses.
  • dataHealth cron (daily 07:30 UTC): for paying/trialing orgs, emails when a project never received events (48h grace, once per project) or the event flow stalled 7+ days. Stall notices re-arm automatically when data resumes and stalls again (dataStoppedNotifiedAt vs last event time — no clearing step). Powered by new getLastEventPerProject() reading distinct_event_names_mv — one instance-wide pre-aggregated query (verified against local CH).
  • Notification-rule email channel wired: sendToEmail was a silent no-op in the worker even though the UI persisted the toggle; now sends a notification-rule email to org members, and the Email integration is enabled in BASE_INTEGRATIONS (config type + UI already existed).
  • New product_alerts email category — unsubscribe suppression, one-click List-Unsubscribe, and the prefs page pick it up automatically. 5 new react-email templates.
  • Weekly digest MIN_EVENTS 5000 → 100 so customers on smaller plans receive the digest too; zero-visitor weeks are still skipped per send.

Tests

Typecheck + full suite green. Crons can be exercised via GET /debug/cron/dataHealth; emails log to console without SMTP/Resend configured.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds product-alert email templates, usage-limit alerts, data-health detection and notifications, a daily cron job, email notification delivery, and alert reset behavior for billing changes.

Changes

Product alerts and data health

Layer / File(s) Summary
Email categories, templates, and notification markers
packages/constants/index.ts, packages/db/prisma/*, packages/db/src/services/notification.service.ts, packages/email/src/emails/*
Adds the product_alerts category, five validated email templates, active email integration configuration, and notification timestamp fields for organizations and projects.
Usage alert lifecycle
apps/worker/src/jobs/sessions.ts, apps/api/src/controllers/webhook.controller.ts, apps/start/src/routes/_app.$organizationId.tsx
Sends near-limit and exceeded-limit alerts to organization admins, displays corresponding application alerts, and clears alert markers when a billing cycle starts or an event limit increases.
Data-health detection and delivery
packages/db/src/services/project.service.ts, apps/worker/src/jobs/cron.data-health.ts
Reads the latest event per project, detects projects with no data or stalled data flow, groups projects by organization, sends tracking alerts, records timestamps, and logs processing metrics.
Data-health cron wiring
packages/queue/src/queues.ts, apps/worker/src/boot-cron.ts, apps/worker/src/boot-debug.ts, apps/worker/src/jobs/cron.ts
Adds the dataHealth queue payload, daily scheduler entry, debug support, and cron dispatcher case.
Rule notification delivery and digest eligibility
apps/worker/src/jobs/notification.ts, apps/worker/src/jobs/cron.weekly-digest.ts
Sends email-enabled notification rules to unique organization member addresses and lowers weekly digest eligibility to more than 100 events while retaining the zero-visitor skip.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ad76e

The new usage, data-health, and notification-rule emails can currently be missed, duplicated, or contain an invalid dashboard link; the exact usage-limit boundary also sends the wrong message. Merge readiness is therefore moderate and requires owner follow-up on delivery reliability and alert correctness.

usageWarningSentAt and usageExceededSentAt to persist and validate the processed
order or billing-cycle identity before resetting usage counters and clearing
alert markers. Skip the reset when the event belongs to an already-processed
cycle, while preserving the reset for a genuinely new billing cycle.

In `@apps/worker/src/jobs/cron.data-health.ts`:
- Around line 129-169: The alert flow around the noData and stalled branches is
not idempotent because notification markers are written only after all recipient
sends succeed. Persist durable recipient-level delivery state or enqueue
messages through a durable outbox with stable idempotency keys before attempting
delivery, and update the retry path so already-delivered recipients are skipped
while failed recipients can retry without duplicate emails.

In `@apps/worker/src/jobs/notification.ts`:
- Around line 49-60: Update the recipient loop in the notification job around
sendEmail so delivery failures returned as null are recorded and cause the job
to fail or retry only those recipients, while unsubscribe skips remain
successful. Catch errors from sendEmail’s unsubscribe lookup per recipient so
one exception does not prevent later recipients from being attempted, and
preserve retry behavior without resending recipients that already succeeded.
- Line 58: Update the dashboardUrl construction in the notification job to fall

- Around line 118-123: Update the exceeded and nearLimit conditions in the
session usage alert logic so count equal to limit uses the exceeded-limit path:
change exceeded to include the boundary and restrict nearLimit to counts
strictly below limit. Preserve the existing sent-at guards and threshold
behavior.
- Around line 170-176: Update the organization alert flow around the
usageExceededSentAt and usageWarningSentAt updates to claim each applicable
alert atomically before sending email, preventing concurrent jobs from both
delivering the same notification. Ensure the claim is conditional on the marker
still being unset and preserve retry-safe handling for failed delivery, using
the existing session job and organization update symbols.

Make alert delivery idempotent before retries.

The deduplication marker is written only after every sendEmail call succeeds. If one recipient receives the email and a later email or updateMany call fails, the catch block completes the job without a marker. The next daily run sends the same alert again to recipients that already received it.

Persist recipient-level delivery state, or use a durable outbox with a stable idempotency key, before retrying failed deliveries.

Acknowledged but keeping send-then-mark. A durable outbox is heavier than this deserves: the job runs once per day, so a partial failure causes at most one duplicate 'your tracking is broken' email per day to some recipients — annoying but safe. The inverse (mark-then-send) risks permanently losing the notice for the no-data case, which is the worse direction for a rescue email. Failures are logged per org.

@lindesvard, understood. The send-then-mark order preserves retryability for failed no-data notifications. The duplicate-email risk is bounded by the daily schedule and is acceptable for this best-effort rescue flow. No change requested.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Handle recipient failures instead of silently completing the job.

sendEmail returns null for SMTP or Resend failures, but this loop ignores the result. A transient provider failure can therefore drop a notification without retrying it.

The helper can also throw during its unsubscribe lookup. That stops delivery to later recipients. If the job retries, earlier recipients can receive duplicate emails.

Track per-recipient failures and retry only failed recipients, or make the email helper return a result that distinguishes unsubscribe skips from delivery failures.

Acknowledged, partially deliberate. sendEmail already logs provider failures internally, so they aren't silent operationally. Per-recipient retry state isn't worth it here: retrying the whole job would double-send to recipients that succeeded (worse than a missed notification-rule email, which the in-app channel usually duplicates anyway), and distinguishing unsubscribe-skips from provider failures needs a return-type change in @openpanel/email that would touch every caller — happy to do that as a follow-up if we see real drops.

- 80% usage warning + 100% exceeded emails to org admins, triggered where the
  usage counter is computed (sessions job); dedupe markers reset on billing-
  cycle rollover and on limit raises via the Polar webhook.
- In-app >=80% warning banner; exceeded banner copy now states that events are
  still collected and only chart display pauses.
- New daily dataHealth cron: emails orgs whose project never received events
  (48h grace) or whose event flow stalled 7+ days. Uses a new
  getLastEventPerProject() reading distinct_event_names_mv (pre-aggregated,
  instance-wide in one query). Stall notices re-arm automatically when data
  resumes and stalls again.
- Wire the notification-rule email channel: sendToEmail was a silent no-op in
  the worker even though the UI persisted the toggle; now sends a
  notification-rule email to org members and the Email integration is enabled
  in BASE_INTEGRATIONS.
- New product_alerts email category (unsubscribe + prefs UI pick it up
  automatically); 5 new react-email templates.
- Weekly digest MIN_EVENTS 5000 -> 100 so customers on smaller plans receive
  the digest too.

- Claim the usage alert atomically (conditional updateMany) before sending so
  concurrent session jobs for the same org can't double-send; the claim is
  released if delivery fails so the next usage update retries.
- Fall back to https://dashboard.openpanel.dev when DASHBOARD_URL is unset in
  the usage, data-health, and notification-rule emails.
- getLastEventPerProject now uses the shared clix query builder per the repo's
  ClickHouse guidelines.
