Details

There are times when a user action in a messaging system surface might trigger a message to show on a different surface. For example, the upcoming onboarding set up checklist experiment in bug 1907948. In this experiment, clicking the last primary CTA in the about:welcome onboarding flow should trigger a feature callout to appear anchored to the "Finish Setup" toolbar button. While there is a potential workaround for handling this case without a new special message action, this capability may be useful in other cases as well.

This bug is to explore options for adding a special message action that sends a trigger message for a configured id (in the case of bug 1907948, the id would be "featureCalloutCheck").

Message targeting often includes a check for !activeNotifications, so this would need to be accounted for to ensure the presence of the message triggering a subsequent message doesn't prevent the latter from appearing. We would also need to make assumptions about the current browser and potentially provide the ability to configure the context.

TBD but investigate and please add points when we know more.
