# monica_site
Django 6.0 marketing platform for a single realtor client — a cheaper replacement for
PostcardMania with added social-media automation.
- **Public site** with a reCAPTCHA-protected contact form.
- **Private portal** for the realtor: lead inbox + UTM/campaign analytics.
- **Mailing list** with per-channel consent and easy opt-out; outreach over
**email + SMS (SMTP2GO)** and **postcard** (pluggable provider, default Lob).
- **Social automation** — schedule/post to Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn via native APIs.
See [`docs/monica-site-design.md`](docs/monica-site-design.md) for the full architecture,
data model, folder layout, deployment, and phased implementation plan.
## Stack
- Django 6.0, Python 3.12
- Postgres (production), SQLite (local fallback)
- Redis + Celery/Beat for background jobs (sends, scheduled posts)
- `uv` package manager
- Docker; deployed via the `server-infra` Ansible pipeline onto active/active hosts behind
Nginx Proxy Manager (same pattern as `company_site`)
## Status
Design/planning phase. Implementation follows the phases in the design doc:
0. Scaffolding & deploy skeleton
1. Public site + contact form + leads + UTM
2. Mailing list + email/SMS outreach + opt-out
3. Postcards
4. Social automation
5. Hardening & polish
## Local development (planned)
Once scaffolded:
```bash
uv sync
docker compose up # web + postgres + redis
uv run python manage.py migrate
uv run python manage.py runserver
```
## Deployment
CI on merge to `main` runs tests, then calls
`server-infra/scripts/deploy.sh --app monica_site --env prod --ref <sha>`.
Requires a `monica_site` entry in the `server-infra` `app_catalog`, a reserved host port pair,
a shared-Postgres database, Redis, and a control-node secret env file. Details in the design doc.

# Monica Site — Architecture & Design
A Django 6.0 web platform to replace PostcardMania for a single realtor client: a public
marketing site with a captcha-protected contact form, a private portal for leads and UTM
analytics, a managed mailing list with multi-channel outreach (email, SMS, postcard), and
direct social-media automation for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
Built to deploy the same way as the existing `company_site` app: a Docker image using `uv`,
Postgres in production, and CI-driven deploys through the `server-infra` Ansible pipeline onto
multiple active/active instances behind Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM).
> Repo: `monica_site` (mirrors the `company_site` naming convention). Single-tenant now, but
> models and app boundaries are drawn so a future `Realtor`/`Organization` foreign key can be
> added without a rewrite.
---
## 1. Goals & Non-Goals
### Goals
- Public site to market the realtor, with a contact form protected by reCAPTCHA v3.
- Private portal: lead inbox, UTM/campaign analytics, mailing-list management, campaign
composer, social scheduler.
- One mailing list of contacts. Form submissions auto-create/append contacts.
- Per-channel, per-contact consent with easy opt-out (email unsubscribe link, SMS `STOP`).
- Outreach over Email + SMS (SMTP2GO) and Postcard (pluggable provider, default Lob).
- Social posting/scheduling to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn via native APIs.
- Cheaper than PostcardMania + adds social automation.
### Non-Goals (initial)
- Multi-tenant SaaS (structured for it later, not built now).
- Full CRM (deal pipelines, MLS/IDX listing sync) — future phase.
- In-app billing/subscriptions.
- Building our own print/mail logistics (we integrate a provider).
---
## 2. Feature Breakdown (mapped to the request)
- **1. Public site + contact form w/ reCAPTCHA** → `public` app. Reuse the proven
`django_recaptcha` v3 setup from `company_site` (`RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY` / `RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY`,
`django_recaptcha/widget_v3.html`).
- **2. Private side: leads + UTM analytics** → `dashboard` (portal shell + auth) + `leads`
(lead records, statuses) + `analytics` (UTM capture + reporting).
- **3. Mailing list + multi-channel outreach + opt-out** → `contacts` (people, consent) +
`messaging` (channels, templates, campaigns, provider adapters). Email/SMS via SMTP2GO,
postcards via a pluggable provider interface.
- **4. Social automation (FB/IG/LinkedIn)** → `social` (connected accounts, posts, scheduling,
native connectors).
---
## 3. High-Level Architecture

```
Key points:
- **Web tier is stateless** and runs on every app host (matches `company_site`: active/active
behind NPM, `SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER`, `USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST`).
- **Background tier is a singleton**: exactly one Celery worker + one beat, so scheduled
postcards/social posts and bulk sends fire once (not once per replica). Pinned to one host.
- **Shared external Postgres + Redis** live on the existing `10.0.0.230` box alongside NPM,
consistent with the `server-infra` shared-Postgres model.
---
## 4. Why background jobs (and the Django 6.0 angle)
Postcard rendering/mailing, social scheduling, and bulk email/SMS are slow, rate-limited, and
retry-prone — they must run outside the request cycle.
- **Recommended: Celery + Redis + Celery Beat.** Mature, supports scheduled (cron-like) jobs,
retries with backoff, and rate limiting per provider. Beat runs on one host only.
- **Django 6.0 Tasks framework (`django.tasks`)** is a clean native way to *enqueue* background
work and will be used for the app-facing API (`enqueue()` calls), but it is a task-execution
abstraction, not a cron scheduler — so Beat still owns time-based triggers. We wrap enqueue
calls thinly so we can swap backends later.
> Decision: use Celery/Redis for execution + scheduling now; keep enqueue calls behind a small
> `messaging.tasks`/`social.tasks` seam so a future move to pure `django.tasks` is mechanical.
---
## 5. Django Apps & Responsibilities
| App | Responsibility | Key models |
|-----|----------------|------------|
| `core` | Shared base classes, mixins, utils | `TimeStampedModel` (created/last_modified, like `company_site.TimeInfoBase`) |
| `public` | Public marketing pages, contact form + reCAPTCHA, sitemap/robots/SEO | — (writes `Lead` + `Contact`) |
| `accounts` | Realtor auth, portal login, profile | uses `django.contrib.auth`; `RealtorProfile` |
| `dashboard` | Private portal shell, nav, home widgets | — (read-only aggregates) |
| `leads` | Lead capture + lifecycle (new/contacted/won/lost), notes | `Lead`, `LeadNote` |
| `contacts` | The mailing list: people + per-channel consent + opt-out | `Contact`, `ConsentRecord`, `Suppression` |
| `analytics` | UTM capture, attribution, campaign reporting | `UTMVisit`, `Attribution` |
| `messaging` | Templates, campaigns, per-recipient messages, channel adapters | `MessageTemplate`, `Campaign`, `Message`, `ProviderEvent` |
| `social` | Connected social accounts, posts, scheduling, native connectors | `SocialAccount`, `SocialPost`, `SocialPostTarget` |
### Data model sketch
```mermaid
erDiagram
Contact ||--o{ ConsentRecord : has
Contact ||--o{ Message : receives
Lead }o--|| Contact : "linked to"
Lead ||--o{ LeadNote : has
Lead }o--o| Attribution : "attributed by"
UTMVisit }o--o| Lead : "converts to"
Campaign ||--o{ Message : sends
MessageTemplate ||--o{ Campaign : "used by"
SocialPost ||--o{ SocialPostTarget : "fans out to"
SocialAccount ||--o{ SocialPostTarget : "posted via"
Contact {
uuid id
string email
string phone
string first_name
string last_name
json postal_address
string source
}
ConsentRecord {
string channel "email|sms|postcard"
bool opted_in
datetime changed_at
string reason
}
Message {
string channel
string status "queued|sent|delivered|failed|bounced"
string provider
string provider_message_id
datetime scheduled_for
}
SocialPost {
text body
json media
datetime scheduled_for
string status
}
SocialPostTarget {
string platform "facebook|instagram|linkedin"
string status
string remote_id
}
```
**Consent model (important):** consent is per `(contact, channel)`. Every send checks for an
opted-in `ConsentRecord` and no active `Suppression`. Opt-out writes an immutable audit trail
(`ConsentRecord` change + `Suppression` row). This keeps us defensible on CAN-SPAM/TCPA and lets
a contact opt out of SMS while keeping email.
---
## 6. Channel Integrations
### 6.1 Email + SMS — SMTP2GO
- **Email:** Django SMTP backend to `mail.smtp2go.com` (already the `company_site` default:
`EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT=2525`, TLS). Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link
(signed token → one-click opt-out view).
- **SMS:** SMTP2GO SMS REST API. Inbound `STOP`/`UNSUBSCRIBE` handled via SMTP2GO webhook →
writes a `Suppression`. A2P 10DLC registration is a client onboarding prerequisite (call out
in Phase 3).
### 6.2 Postcards — pluggable provider (default Lob)
A small provider interface so the realtor isn't locked in and we can shop on price:
```python
class PostcardProvider(Protocol):
def send_postcard(self, *, to: PostalAddress, from_: PostalAddress,
front: Asset, back: Asset, idempotency_key: str) -> ProviderResult: ...
def get_status(self, provider_id: str) -> DeliveryStatus: ...
```
Adapters live in `messaging/providers/postcard/`. Selected via `POSTCARD_PROVIDER` env var.
| Provider | Model | ~4x6 postcard | Best for | Notes |
|----------|-------|---------------|----------|-------|
| **Lob** (default) | API-first, tiered | Free dev tier ~$0.77; ~$0.51 on $260/mo Startup | Clean API, address verification, in-transit tracking | Best DX; monthly fee only worth it at volume |
| Click2Mail | Pay-per-piece, no subscription | ~$0.350.70 | Low/occasional volume, no monthly fee | API less polished; great when volume is small |
| PostGrid | API + dashboard, subscription | Contact sales (from ~$250/mo) | Compliance-heavy, templates | Overkill unless compliance-driven |
| Stannp | Marketer-friendly, no minimums | Transparent per-piece | Non-dev fallback, EU | Good dashboard |
| USPS EDDM | Postage-only saturation | Postage only | Whole-route blasts (no list) | No per-address API; manual/bulk option |
> Recommendation: start on **Lob Developer (free) tier** to validate, keep **Click2Mail** as the
> low-volume cost option behind the same interface. Revisit once monthly volume is known — the
> abstraction makes switching a config change.
### 6.3 Social — native APIs (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
Chosen over an aggregator (Ayrshare) to avoid per-profile monthly fees, since this is one
realtor with a fixed set of accounts.
- **Facebook + Instagram:** Meta Graph API (one integration covers both). IG posting requires an
IG Business/Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. Plan for quarterly Graph API version
bumps.
- **LinkedIn:** LinkedIn API (organization + member posting). Budget **24 weeks lead time** for
app review / posting-scope approval — start this early.
- Connectors live in `social/connectors/{meta,linkedin}.py` behind a common
`SocialConnector` interface (`publish(post, target) -> remote_id`, `refresh_token()`).
- OAuth tokens stored encrypted; Beat enqueues due `SocialPost`s; worker fans out to each
`SocialPostTarget` with per-platform retry.
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant R as Realtor
participant D as Dashboard
participant DB as Postgres
participant B as Celery Beat
participant W as Worker
participant P as Platform API
R->>D: Compose post, pick FB/IG/LI, schedule
D->>DB: SocialPost + SocialPostTargets (status=scheduled)
B->>DB: poll due posts
B->>W: enqueue publish(target)
W->>P: publish via connector
P-->>W: remote_id / error
W->>DB: update target status + remote_id
```
### 6.4 UTM Analytics
- Landing views capture `utm_source/medium/campaign/term/content` + referrer into `UTMVisit`
(cookie/session correlation id).
- On contact-form submit, the correlation id ties the `UTMVisit``Lead``Attribution`.
- Dashboard reports leads by source/campaign over time (Chart.js — already vendored in
`company_site` static; reuse the material-dashboard theme).
- **Reuse existing Tianji** (self-hosted analytics already run at `tianji.aimloperations.com`)
for pageview-level traffic; our `analytics` app owns *conversion* attribution that Tianji
can't tie to CRM records.

## 7. Proposed Folder / File Layout
Mirrors `company_site` exactly for deploy compatibility (Dockerfile at repo root, `uv`,
`settings/` package with `DJANGO_ENV` dispatch, `docker-compose.prod.yml` with **no bundled
db**, `scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh`, `.gitea/workflows`).

Each Django app follows the standard `admin.py / apps.py / models.py / views.py / urls.py /
forms.py / migrations/ / templates/<app>/ / static/<app>/ / tests.py` layout used in
`company_site` (e.g. `public/`, `financial/`).
---
## 8. Deployment (matches server-infra pipeline)
The existing pipeline already knows how to deploy Dockerized Django apps to active/active hosts.
We plug in by mirroring `company_site` and adding one catalog entry.
### 8.1 Container & compose
- **Dockerfile**: identical pattern to `company_site``python:3.12-slim`, `uv sync --frozen
--no-dev`, copy project, `scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh` runs
`migrate → collectstatic → gunicorn monica_site.wsgi:application`.
- **`docker-compose.prod.yml`**: `web` service only for the app hosts (external Postgres +
Redis via `DATABASE_URL` / `REDIS_URL`; **drop the bundled `db`**, per the server-infra
"required changes in each app repo" checklist). Add `worker` + `beat` services deployed to a
single host (or a separate `docker-compose.worker.yml`) so schedulers are singletons.
### 8.2 server-infra wiring (repo reviewed)
- Add to `inventory/group_vars/all.yml` → `app_catalog`:
```yaml
monica_site:
type: django
repo: "{{ git_base_url }}/ai_ml_operations/monica_site.git"
default_branch: main
compose_file: docker-compose.prod.yml
web_service: web
migrate_cmd: "uv run python manage.py migrate --noinput"
```
- Assign host ports in `host_vars/<host>.yml` `host_apps` (reserve a new port pair, e.g.
`prod 8003 / beta 8013`, matching across adama+roslin so NPM can balance).
- Create control-node secret `~/Documents/secrets/monica_site/monica_site_prod.env`
(`DATABASE_URL`, `REDIS_URL`, `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY`, `WEB_PORT`, provider keys). Never committed;
Ansible pushes it to `/opt/apps/env/monica_site_prod.env` (mode 600) at deploy.
- Shared Postgres prereq on `10.0.0.230`: create `monica_site` DB + user (and `monica_site_beta`
for beta), like the other apps.
### 8.3 CI/CD flow
Same as `company_site`:
1. PR → `ci.yml` runs `uv sync` + `manage.py test`.
2. Merge to `main` → `unittests.yml` (containerized tests) → on green, `deploy.yml` calls
`server-infra/scripts/deploy.sh --app monica_site --env prod --ref <sha>`.
3. `deploy-apps.yml` checks out the ref on each app host, injects `.env`, `docker compose build`,
`up -d`, runs `migrate` once.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
PR["PR to main"] --> CI["ci.yml: uv sync + tests"]

Merge --> UT["unittests.yml (docker tests)"]

DEP --> A["adama: web :8003"]
DEP --> R["roslin: web :8003"]
DEP --> WK["worker+beat (single host)"]
A & R --> NPM["NPM balances monica domain"]
```
### 8.4 New infra bits beyond company_site
- **Redis** service on `10.0.0.230` (broker + cache) — small addition to the shared box.
- **Worker/beat placement**: one host runs the `worker`+`beat` compose project; document that it
must be exactly one to avoid duplicate scheduled sends.

## 10. Phased Implementation Plan
### Phase 0 — Scaffolding & deploy skeleton
- Create `monica_site` Django 6.0 project via `uv`; `settings/` dispatch; Dockerfile,
compose (dev with db+redis), entrypoints, `.gitea/workflows`, pre-commit.
- Add `core` app (`TimeStampedModel`), health check, base template.
- Wire `server-infra` `app_catalog` entry + host ports + secrets; get a "hello world" deploying
to adama+roslin behind NPM on a staging domain.
- Add Redis to `10.0.0.230`; create Postgres DB/user.
- **Exit:** empty app deploys via CI to prod hosts, health check green.
### Phase 1 — Public site + contact form + leads + UTM
- `public`: marketing pages (home/about/contact), `django_recaptcha` v3 contact form.
- `contacts`: `Contact` + `ConsentRecord` (default opt-in on submit, with clear notice).
- `leads`: `Lead` + statuses; form submit creates/updates `Contact` and a `Lead`.
- `analytics`: `UTMVisit` capture middleware + attribution on submit.
- `accounts` + `dashboard`: realtor login, portal shell, lead inbox, basic UTM report (Chart.js).
- **Exit:** realtor logs in, sees leads with source attribution; visitors submit safely.
### Phase 2 — Mailing list + Email/SMS outreach + opt-out
- `messaging`: `MessageTemplate`, `Campaign`, `Message`, `ProviderEvent`; Celery + Beat online.
- Email via SMTP2GO with unsubscribe links; SMS via SMTP2GO SMS API.
- Opt-out views + SMS `STOP` webhook → `Suppression`; consent enforced on every send.
- Dashboard: contact list management, segment/select recipients, compose + schedule campaign,
delivery status.
- **Exit:** realtor sends a real email + SMS campaign to consented contacts; opt-out works.
### Phase 3 — Postcards
- `messaging/providers/postcard/` interface + Lob adapter (+ Click2Mail adapter as the
low-volume option); `POSTCARD_PROVIDER` switch.
- Postcard campaign flow: pick template/artwork, select recipients (address required + Lob
address verification), send batch via worker, poll delivery status.
- Client prerequisites called out: Lob account, A2P 10DLC for SMS.
- **Exit:** realtor mails a postcard batch and sees delivery tracking.
### Phase 4 — Social automation
- `social`: `SocialAccount` OAuth connect (Meta + LinkedIn), encrypted token storage.
- Connectors for Meta (FB Page + IG Business) and LinkedIn; `SocialPost` + `SocialPostTarget`
compose/schedule; Beat dispatches, worker fans out with retries.
- Dashboard: composer with per-platform preview, calendar/scheduled view, post status.
- **Kick off LinkedIn app review in Phase 01** given 24 week approval lead time.
- **Exit:** realtor schedules one post to all three platforms; it publishes and reports status.
### Phase 5 — Hardening & polish
- Rate limiting/backoff per provider, dead-letter handling, admin dashboards for failures.
- Analytics polish (campaign ROI, source trends), email/SMS engagement events.
- Backups for Postgres, monitoring via existing Alloy/Tianji, docs + runbook.

## 11. Key Risks & Decisions
- **Singleton scheduler:** must run exactly one Beat + worker across the active/active fleet, or
scheduled sends duplicate. Pin to one host; documented in deploy.
- **LinkedIn approval latency (24 wks):** start the app-review process at project kickoff.
- **SMS compliance (A2P 10DLC/TCPA):** client-side registration required before SMS launch;
consent + `STOP` handling are built in but registration is a prerequisite.
- **Postcard cost/volume:** Lob's monthly tiers only pay off at volume; the provider abstraction
lets us default to Lob's free tier and drop to Click2Mail (pay-per-piece) if volume stays low.
- **Meta Graph versioning:** budget quarterly maintenance for API version bumps.
- **Single-tenant → multi-tenant later:** every tenant-scoped model gets a nullable
`owner/realtor` FK path reserved so a later migration adds isolation without a rewrite.
---
## 12. Cost Snapshot (why it beats PostcardMania)
- **Hosting:** runs on existing adama/roslin fleet — near-zero marginal infra (add Redis).
- **Email/SMS:** SMTP2GO usage-based (already an org account).
- **Postcards:** ~$0.350.77/4x6 at provider cost vs PostcardMania's bundled campaign packages;
no forced campaign minimums.
- **Social:** $0 API fees (native), vs PostcardMania add-ons / aggregator per-profile fees.
- **No PostcardMania platform/campaign markup**; realtor pays provider cost + our hosting.
