Can a deeplink in a notification goto a website - i specify?
Please elaborate! Like what?? RSS feed? HTML alert?
I want my user to be able to send notifications through the app. Then the notification that went out to all others be a link to a website - NOT the appโฆ
Sorry but canโt follow you. Forget about the app for a second, can you tell me how are you planning to send a link to a web page? As a RSS feed? As a post? As an HTTP Post Request? What kinda website/webpage is that? Do you own the domain?
Sorry.
These are the steps i want my user to be able to do:
That last step has โLinkโ in it. I want the user who gets this notification to be able to go to that link by clicking on the notification.
You mean the Push notification??
yes
Here is my workflow push notification:
I built a table named โLink to url linkโ - to display the link - as a work around. But i would rather the click on the notification be directly to the url entered.
Unfortunately thatโs not possible. As itโs already stated at the of the doc, โBy default, the DeepLink links to your AppSheet application.โ
So sending notifications to users - you cannot make it a clickable link to the url i put in the notification?
Correct. The notification bubble is defaulted to your AppSheet app.
Ok. Then if it does a deeplink back to a view in the app, does the user who clicked on the notification HAVE to have downloaded the app already/before?
The user should have installed the AppSheet app and have at least once launched your app. These are all written in the reference document.
Ok. Thanks. Is there any other way to push/give links to url to people who have not downloaded the app?
Nope, not that I know of. However, no any apps (including the white-label apps) does not direct the user to a URL from a notification as per security. Provided the redirected URL contains some malicious code, executing that URL means executing the code without the userโs awareness. So basically what you are asking is - at least in terms of security - not logical.
OH! I understand. Thanks
Youโre welcome.
Given that push notifications areโby definitionโdirected to an app, Iโm curious how youโd imagine a push notification would know how to reach someone who doesnโt have the app installed?
I was hoping the notification could be a clickable link - if i specified where it would go -url
Also - i have a table with users already in it with their phone numbers. So they do not need the app installed to get the notificationsโฆ
The content of the notification is irrelevant to my question. You asked: โIs there any other way to push/give links to url to people who have not downloaded the app?โ It is not possible by any means to send a notification (regardless of content) to anyone who does not have the app installed.
I have a table - โContactsโ with the names and phone numbers already there. Itโs our companies employee list. So the notification is pushed to those numbers.
I did not realize this. I thought if i had their numbers - it could send.
Thanks

Please read the doc on how AppSheet sends the notifications and to where itโs sent!
