Send to an endpoint. Feature request. User Action

[oshliaer]

It's a simple idea to add a button to call some kind of endpoint. For example, it can be:

• calling a personal endpoint
• submitting a Google Form
• adding a row to the available Google Sheet
• something like above

The main idea is to add links to public resources. For example, chats, tables, slack for further work on the topic. For example, the rating of topics for the month or the general rating of the GPF topics.

Hi Alex!

I like the idea! So you're thinking about injecting a custom link inside threads which gets partially populated with the thread URL? (for instance, https://example.com/custom_link?thread_url={thread_url})

I wonder whether it would be better to, instead of a link, pressing the button initiated a POST request which included a personal secret token (to prevent someone from calling the personal endpoint) and a richer JSON body with the thread details.

For example, the rating of topics for the month or the general rating of the GPF topics.

Sorry, I don't fully understand this part. I thought you considered the button as a way to take an action related to this thread somewhere else (e.g. a spreadsheet), but this seems like a different thing. Could you elaborate a little bit more on this?

All right.

About the rating of the GPF topics. It's a pretty interesting collaboration where you find useful topics with someone and save it to a shared resource to further compile useful lists from the topics.

For example working with Google Sheets. People often ask very interesting and useful things. That no one has ever seen before. But one expert is not able to go through all the forum posts in search of useful posts.
