Description

We need an API endpoint that allows users to give feedback on a specific page or in general (bugs, suggestions, etc).
The idea is that they can send feedback through a form only when they are logged in.
This feature is only for the SPA mvp release in the Harvard installation.

How to address this?

  1. Using the existing Dataverse Support Email ?
  2. Create a new API endpoint just for the Harvard installation to a specific email address dedicated to receive feedback from the Harvard SPA users ?

The endpoint payload I can image is something like:

{
  page: string // Optional, the page about which the user sends feedback
  feedback: string // required
  fromEmail: string // the logged in user email
}

Research direction

Start with the Dataverse Support Email configuration linked in the issue and compare it with the proposed Harvard-only endpoint and payload. No source files or tests are named; done requires a settled delivery design, including authentication, recipient handling, and whether feedback is page-specific or general.
