link to Santa Monica Works webform to report tree problems

[emillipede]

as a:
user

when I:
have a question about or notice a problem with a city tree or vacant site

I want to:
easily communicate the question or concern to city staff

interim plan:
add a section to the bottom of the tree and vacant sidebars in this format:

with this text:

• Report an Issue
• Notice an issue with this tree? Notify Santa Monica's Public Landscape Manager via Santa Monica Works ("Santa Monica Works" links to "Trees" topic area within the "Problems & Repairs" section

future (not current) plans:

• the city-assigned tree ID and lat/long will be automatically copied to the user's clipboard (possible solution: https://hackernoon.com/copying-text-to-clipboard-with-javascript-df4d4988697f), but that might not be an option
• a button will open an interface to allow users to directly submit reports to the city's works app's "Trees" topic area within the "Problems & Repairs" section, rather than direct users to the city's website (this integration with SM GO is on hold to explore how to address CORS server errors)

Note - users may need to create accounts in order to submit issues via the city's app

Using the http library as http

This http call will allow you to fill in the form with your own data, without opening the window.

http.post(
        "https://user.govoutreach.com/santamonica/support.php?cmd=newcase",
        body: {
          "classificationId":"30642",
          "locationCoord":long+", "+lat,
          "location":location,
          "treeIssue": treeIssue,
          "description": description,
        //Compented is optional
        //  "firstName":"",
        //  "lastName": "",
        //  "email":"",
        //  "phone":"",
        //  "altPhone":"",
        //  "address":"",
        //  "city":"santa monica",
        //  "state":"California",
        //  "zip":"90405"
        }
        ),

(written in dart with http library) thank you @theswerd !

hey @theswerd and @thekaveman

as an alternate solution to CORS problem, what about using the "report" button to push to a queue that triggers a bot to complete the city form? this google tutorial makes it look possible and possibly free

please let me know what you think
