Starting creating a new private message via link?

[Joey_Tuan]

Since this feature was already created for creating a new post, I was wondering if it could be replicated for creating a new private message?

Start creating a new topic via link?

Use case: on our rails app, we’re using discourse as the main private-messaging tool. On our user profiles there, we’d like to have a “send message” button that allows you to message that user on discourse.

We developed a plugin that does this.

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
