Custom domain for web link for my branded app ?

[Mudit999]

Hi @All, I have an app which is branded app and we have the apk file also but my client needs to have custom domain link for the web-version of appsheet app, as for now it comes with https://www.appsheet.com/start/..., but they want this to made like: xyz.com/app, How this masking can be possible for appsheet web app ?

You would need to use a redirection service - a third party company that manages your desired URL and when it is used, redirects to the actual URL for AppSheet.

NOTE:  Many times clients want the AppSheet URL completely hidden.  I am not certain if there has been any way to accomplish that.  There are several posts in the community concerning this very thing.  I advise performing a search to see what others have discovered.

This is not so simple and missing on specific feature by AppSheet:

A domain forwarding, forwards the domain of the initial call.
Eg. If you use app.mydomain.com and the DNS forwards it to https://www.appsheet.com/start/2fa5d240-6403....
the browser calling app.mydomain.com will jump to https://www.appsheet.com/start/2fa5d240-6403...  and this will be seen to the user. This might already be helpful for some users, but would not really hide the appsheet.com domain.

The professional way would be to run a reverse proxy like nginx or traeffik or even handle your domain by cloudflare. There you could define a forward from 

    app.mydomain.com?someMoreURLParameter

to

  www.appsheet.com/start/appnumber?SomeMoreURLParameter 

This would work as long as APPSheet behaves as a "single page application"
However, if you have explicit links to other app sheet apps, or explicit links to specific views, the URL that is generated by Appsheet always starts with appsheet.com.

So, the missing appsheet feature is to tell Appsheet another Base URL which is returned instead of appsheet.com for secondary pages and links.

As long as this is not available, totally hiding the appsheet origin will not be possible in the browser, similar to branded ios / Android apps today.
