Linking to a self-service action with additional context
R
Rich Rein
We have a few places today where we are attempting to link to a specific self-service action, and have had success using a relative URL like
/self-serve?action=[action.identifier]
. As an example, we have the following action today:
- action identifier: create_dbt_repo
- action inputs: team_name (enum), app_name (string)
It would be nice to be able to default one or more values in the self-service action user input form (on a per instance basis) with a URL like:
/self-serve?action=create_dbt_repo&app_name=test
.(Note: This is different than defaulting the field at the form level - if someone comes in and manually triggers this action, I don't want to default anything for
app_name
- but in cases where we are linking to the action from specific pages elsewhere, it would be nice to use the information known at that point to drive some context-specific defaults when they arrive on the self-service action form.)
