Currently, there is no way for an admin to programatically subscribe customers to threads.

The REST API subscribes the user account which does the api call.  As a result, you'd have to have every user's username and password to do this.

I'd like there to be either a query param ?user-email or ?user-id... which would subscribe that user instead of the user that made the rest call.

Hello,


The user ID can now be passed as a query parameter in the Monitor topic API call. If the user-id is not specified, it takes the user whose API call is used as the recipient.
