I've been trying to figure out how to use auto actions plugin to send a private message but can't get it to work so decided to ask for some help.
Scenario: I have created a link that is on users profiles for others to send a standard request to them by PM. Currently the link only opens UddeIM and the user needs to enter the message text. I want the text to be prefilled with something like "Please send me one of those, thanks" - not sure yet if it should be sent straight away at that point or if the user can edit the text so need both options explaining.
What are the steps for setting up Auto Actions to do this?
CB Auto Actions can't do as you're wanting. It can't prefill content in UddeIM nor force the send. It does have a "Private Message" action to send a private message on a CB trigger however, but clicking a URL to UddeIM is not a CB trigger. It would have to be for example after profile update, after login, after registration, etc..
Reviewed UddeIM source and it doesn't allow passing "pmessage" to the textarea from URL. It has to be passed in a POST. So you'd need to make modifications to UddeIM for what you're wanting or edit your URL to be a FORM with a POST instead.
