SearchKit - Add CiviMail integration

[colemanw]

Overview

Add a SearchKit task for "Email - schedule/send via CiviMail", similar to that in Advanced Search, etc.

Before

No convenient way to compose CiviMail directly from SearchKit.

After

Task will automatically create a hidden group (static, not smart group) and create a new mailing with it.

@colemanw I was testing the patch in the test build site http://core-22808-7ekai.test-1.civicrm.org:8001/ (admin / aDS90rFRafzZ)

And after building a searchkit display when I choose "Email - schedule/send via CiviMail" action, on the popup screen I am only allowed to fill the Mailing name nothing else. I cannot proceed from that point:

Am I missing something here?

[colemanw]

@monishdeb that's strange that you can't see the buttons at all.
When I test locally, the Submit & Cancel buttons are there, and they work.
When I test on the demo site you linked to, the buttons are there but they don't work (Submit is stuck as disabled)
But your screencast doesn't have any buttons.

There may be a dependency issue. I've rebased this PR so let's see if the new sandbox site works better.

Test this please

[monishdeb]

I checked on my local and it works for me, heres screencast:

However there are few issues on the new test build site http://core-22808-7sbsp.test-3.civicrm.org:8001 but I think its not blocker to get this PR merge.

@jaapjansma can you please ensure if this patch works for you too?

• General standards
  • Explain (r-explain)
    • PASS : The goal/problem/solution have not been adequately explained in the PR. However it is quite user intuitive on what to do.
  • User impact (r-user)
    • PASS: The change would be intuitive or unnoticeable for a majority of users who work with this feature.
  • Documentation (r-doc)
    • ISSUE: We have checked the documentation and we believe that this new functionality should be documented as well as it makes sense for user to learn on how they can search for contacts and create a mailing from the search result.
  • Run it (r-run)
    • PASS: We created a new contact search with search kit and and then created an email from the results.
• Developer standards
  • Technical impact (r-tech)
    • PASS: The change preserves compatibility with existing callers/code/downstream.
  • Code quality (r-code)
    • PASS: The functionality, purpose, and style of the code seems clear+sensible.
  • Maintainability (r-maint)
    • PASS: The change does not include tests however I believe the change is good enough to pass without a test.
  • Test results (r-test)
    • PASS: The test results are all-clear.

We believe that this PR is merge ready. However it needs attention when it comes to user documentation! @colemanw can you also add this functionality to the user documentation?

@colemanw Hi, can you say when this CiviMail integration is likely to go on general release, please?

[colemanw]

@TomCrawshaw yes, it is part of version 5.49, which is the current beta, and will become the stable release in 3 weeks.
