Link to private message a user from outside via URL

[OnceWas]

Thanks to Vairix, we have developed a plugin that triggers a private message from an outside URL.

After installing this plugin, if you append ?pm=true to a Discourse user’s profile URL, it will trigger the private message composer with a message addressed to that user.

Pretty sure we are comfortable having this kind of feature in core @techAPJ already built it for standard topics

This feature is now available in core Discourse:

Compose a new pre-filled private message via URL

Discourse now supports composing a new (pre-filled) private message via URL! :sunny: To compose a new pre-filled message, modify URL params like this: http://discourse.example.com/new-message?username=techapj&title=message%20title&body=message%20body This will open a composer window pre-filled with username, title and body. Try it out live on try.discourse.org! :smile: ​ http://try.discourse.org/new-message?username=rudy&title=message%20title&body=message%20body
