When we’re doing user research we often: - start the task by inviting the participant to a service on Notify - have them use a prototype version of the admin app, hosted on a different domain Currently we can’t do both of these things together, because the invite emails always send people to notifications.service.gov.uk (because it’s the API that sends the emails, and the prototype admin app points at the production API). This commit changes the admin app to tell the API which host to use when creating the invite links. Depends on: - [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/1515
