Suggest integration after pasting link

[enriquesanchez]

This is a child issue of #5939. It stems from #5534, where we explored various ideas and solutions.

Enhancement

When a user pastes a link from:

• one of the integrations that we support, and
• we detect that the integration is not currently connected

...we prompt the user to connect the integration.

Example

When a user pastes a link to GitHub in a task card, we display a small inline banner inviting the user to connect Parabol to GitHub: Connect Parabol to GitHub for a more streamlined experience:

The banner is unobtrusive and easily dismissed.

Clicking on the link Connect Parabol to GitHub opens the OAuth/configure window in place, where the user can follow through the process of connecting. If the process is completed, the little banner is removed automatically. If, instead, the users clicks on the X, the banner is dismissed and we remember that choice.

Scope

• We'll start by only implementing this feature in task cards. Later on we can add it to reflections and discussion threads once we've learned more.
• Let's also start by only having this flow triggered by one integration. I suggest we start with GitHub links but I can be convinced to start with Jira if our team prefers that.

Related work

• See parent issue Integrations awareness #5939 for more context.
• See sibling issue Show inline embeds instead of regular links for connected integrations #5941

Acceptance criteria

• When a user pastes a link from GitHub, and the GitHub integration is not currently connected, and the user has not dismissed the prompt before, we display the inline banner described above.
• Clicking on the banner link fires up the flow to connect the integration. Ideally this happens in place, having the popup window appear on top.
• If the users dismisses the banner instead (X button), the banner is removed and we remember the user's choice.

Estimated effort:

• 24 hrs

Is this feature also expected for hyperlinks?

• I like @tianrunhe ’s question: I think there may be a difference between adding a link to text and pasting a link
• If they connect I assume the link becomes the formatted version as seen in Show inline embeds instead of regular links for connected integrations #5941

Thank you for the feedback @tianrunhe and @ackernaut 🙌

Is this feature also expected for hyperlinks?

My initial reaction is that this pattern should not interfere with hyperlinks. The user is intentionally linking a specific text string, and I feel we shouldn't interfere with that. How do you feel about this?

If they connect I assume the link becomes the formatted version as seen in Show inline embeds instead of regular links for connected integrations #5941

Correct, these two issues are closely related.

Yeah I think it’s right to start with 1 enhancement. When folks add links to specific text they are doing so with intention, no need to take over formatting there. Maybe later we could suggest adding the hyperlink as an attachment at the bottom in addition to the linked text.
