A new usecase has arisen: what about sharing things like teams meeting links, or calendly links etc from tools that are commonly used across government.

How would we implement something like this? How do we validate that the URL being used is a 'valid' use case for gov only? Are teams meeting links considered sensitive information? How do we limit where they can be used? Would we handle them the same as regular URLs?

Folk internally are already asking for this tool to be used this way, so it's likely folks outside of CDS are also going to have these questions.

Once this is available in Notify you'll have folks outside of CDS definitely asking about how far we can go with the tool.
