Basically the title. Is there some link format that could be used to open a branded Journey Apps mobile container on iOS/Android while also passing in details to open a specific view with specific params?
E.g. I know in Oxide, there’s a link that opens the default container with my deployment loaded:
journeyapps:///enroll?h=run-testing-us.journeyapps.com&k=<KEY>&t=j
Can I pass and receive additional parameters here to parse on opening the app? Is there an example of this somewhere?
Hi @fthomas
Unfortunately it is not possible to deep link to a specific view using the URL schemes - please suggest the idea on our Public Roadmap
Deep linking / URL schemes can be used to open the container programmatically, from another container or a different app, and you can optionally pass in a valid Enrollment link to re-enroll the container.
For more on enrolling / re-enrolling using custom URLs please see this post
A typical use case for the type of navigation you want to do would be to have a user easily “action some new incident that is assigned to the user”. For this use case we have seen a reasonable workaround by implementing an automatic navigation from the main view (from both init() and resume()) if a specific field (usually a belongs-to relationship) on the user object is set. The navigation takes the user to a view where they can execute the relevant action(s). An alternative, less “invasive” approach is to provide a highly visible list of “To Do” items at the top of the main view - with quick ‘access’ to the necessary / relevant actions. I hope this makes sense.
If not, please feel free to create a follow-up post explaining your desired workflow and asking for suggestions on how this can be accomplished
Have just had a client ask for this again (scan a QR code to open a specific view).
I’m pretty sure I submitted to the roadmap, but am not seeing anything. Should I just submit it again?
One option is to use the capture-barcode view component in your app and then use the on-change or on-scan event listener to trigger a function which navigates the user to a different view.
If you still need to deeplink to a specific view from a different app, the best would be to submit the feedback again.
Hi @fthomas
The suggestion was received previously. Not all received suggestions make their way to the public roadmap, but they are taken into account when doing roadmap planning.
That said, we will add your vote to “better deeplinking support” again, for good measure.
