Add ability to pass variable to notification style messages
Problem
Currently, GitLab has no good way to collect directed feedback from users. The general feedback button inside the application only allows users to submit issues to a general issue board. This does not allow Product, Product Marketing, or UX to collect feedback on specific items that require timely user feedback. As a result, we have to rely on intuition rather than data in many cases.
Proposal
- When surveying a user through notifications, allow the ability to pass the user_id, instance_id, and namespace into the notification in order to be able to include it in the URL parameter of an anchor tag
Use Case
As a Product Manager, I need to know the persona makeup of the users utilizing the SAAS product. I want to survey those users in order to see which persona they fit into. Notification style messages would be perfect for this as long as I can tie the user's response to their user_id so that I can add their persona to the database.
