Feature Request / Jetpack Backup : Add additional credential auto-config opportunities

[JoshuaGoode]

What

Provide additional opportunities for Jetpack-connected sites to utilize the credential auto-config flow. Especially on https://wordpress.com/backup/DOMAIN

E.g., over at Pressable, we want all users to get their creds configured automatically after approval. They should never manually enter them.

Why

• pbfA90-TC-p2

Some Jetpack-connected sites are eligible to have their SSH/SFTP credentials configured automatically via /start/rewind-auto-config/?blogid=${ siteId }&siteSlug=${ siteSlug }

• https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/blob/cd0b1450d868ef10f7a9238852742fed3c640ca1/client/blocks/jetpack-backup-creds-banner/index.jsx

At Pressable, we want all users to get their creds configured automatically. They should never manually enter them.

Pressable has its own partner flow that directs users to this auto-config page after connecting. http://wordpress.com/start/pressable-nux/creds-permission?blogid=XXXXX

However, it doesn't always work and some sites may break their credentials and need to auto-config them again.

• https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/20024
• https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/pull/20025

At this time, the primary backup page in Calypso does not offer auto-config. Even when Pressable is detected as the host.

However, other parts -- such as the stats page -- do.

---

Example,

On https://wordpress.com/stats/day/DOMAIN

I see prompts to configure, which then take the user to https://wordpress.com/start/rewind-auto-config/?blogid=[XXXXX]&siteSlug=[domain]

Which is an auto-config screen

On https://wordpress.com/backup/DOMAIN, we do not offer auto-config

How

No response

I've realized we weren't tracking this on Asana, so I've created a task here to do so: https://app.asana.com/0/1202586245449203/1204486020010153
