Continuing the discussion from [Compose a new pre-filled private message via URL](https://meta.discourse.org/t/compose-a-new-pre-filled-private-message-via-url/35984):

Hey all - I haven’t seen anything on it, but I wanted to see if it was possible to initiate a private message with multiple usernames as the recipients? I know group message is possible, but I wanted to start a new PM to two usernames that aren’t in a group.

You might try separating multiple user names with a plus sign.

Is this possible @techAPJ?

No, sending personal message to multiple users via URL is not supported yet.

Is this still the case? I was trying to do this today but couldn’t get it working, so I’m assuming it’s still not supported?

I would also like to do that. I tried using +, a comma etc. No ability to do that as far as I know which is really annoying.

I just tried comma, plus, and slash yet none work.

This would definitely be helpful. We use groups for a lot of things already.

An example of a generic use case would be those times when PMing is meant for an individual and perhaps one or two others who are coverage for when that person is away.

We [now support](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b75cbec4b6294a04188d99faa9dcae7faf868ee9) comma separated multiple usernames. Here is an example link for meta:

```plaintext
https://meta.discourse.org/new-message?username=foo,bar&title=topic%20title&body=topic%20body`

```

Also updated the [documentation](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-a-new-personal-message-via-a-link-with-pre-filled-information/35984) for this feature.
