Deep Linking

Deep Linking

Deep linking enables direct navigation to specific in-app content or actions, enhancing user experience. It allows users to seamlessly access relevant app pages or features via links, improving engagement and user retention.

Web Application

You now have the ability to control your Wazo application externally using URLs, the same way you would a regular website. If you're whitelabel-ling the application, you can use your own protocol.

For instance, you can access:

  • the conference list with https://app.wazo.io/phonebook/conferences
  • the meetings page with https://app.wazo.io/meetings Navigate the web application in order to retrieve the URLs you'd like to link to from the location bar of your browser.

Pre-filling the host name

By adding the host parameter to a Web Application link, the stack hostname will be pre-filled, like: app.wazo.io/?host=my-stack.io.

Desktop Application

You can also control Wazo Desktop in a similar fashion.

Instead of using https://app.wazo.io, you may use the wazo:// protocol.

For instance, you can access:

  • the conference list with wazo://phonebook/conferences
  • the meetings page with wazo://meetings On your first attempt, you will be prompted to allow access to the application.

Following your approval, you will land on the page directly.

Pre-filling the host name

By adding the host parameter to the Desktop Application link, the stack hostname will be pre-filled, like: wazo://?host=my-stack.io.

Initiating a call

You can also use URLs to initiate a call with the [protocol]:/calls/[your-number] URL structure.

For instance:

  • https://app.wazo.io/calls/418-555-1234 loads the web application and redirects you to the lobby, from which you can proceed with the call.
  • wazo://calls/418-555-1234 will bring the desktop app to the foreground and achieve the same result.

Bypassing the lobby

You can bypass the lobby and proceed directly with the call by adding the direct query string:

  • https://app.wazo.io/calls/418-555-1234?direct

  • wazo://calls/418-555-1234?direct The tel:, call: and callto: protocols automatically bypass the lobby:

  • tel:418-555-1234

  • call:418-555-1234

  • callto:418-555-1234 (not implemented yet)
