Setting Up Deep Links

Deep links let you send attendees straight to a specific screen in your app — a survey, a quest, a sponsor page, and more — instead of just opening them to the home screen.

How to Get Your App's Deep Link URL

  1. In CMS, go to Apps in the far left nav bar.
  2. Select your app.
  3. Scroll down to Enable Deep Links. Select Yes, then Save.

That URL is the start of every deep link for that app. Add /destination to the end to point attendees to a specific screen (see examples below).

Note: Each app has its own custom Deep Link URL, generated when you enable deep links for that app. Use the URL from your app's own Apps page — not another event's — as the base for every link you build.

Example Destinations

Using https://[your-app-url] as the base:

  • Survey Screen — https://[your-app-url]/surveys
  • Quest — https://[your-app-url]/quest
  • Sponsor — https://[your-app-url]/sponsor/485127 (use the sponsor's ID number)
  • Session Detail — https://[your-app-url]/session-detail/479992 (see note below)
  • Article — https://[your-app-url]/session-detail/640670 (uses the article's ID number — see note below)

Finding a session's or article's ID number: Open the session or article in CMS and check the browser's URL bar.

  • For a session, the number at the end (for example, app.amego.com/content/session/526171) is the ID you need — use 526171, not the Session Code (like S82411) shown on the edit page.
  • For an article, it's the same idea (for example, team-26-europe.app.amego.com/articles/640670) — use 640670.

Articles are treated like session pages, so an article's deep link also uses the /session-detail/ path with the article's ID number — for example, /session-detail/640670, not /article/640670.

General Notes

  • You can link to any native screen. You cannot, however, deep link to secondary screens (for example, a secondary Home screen).
  • Deep links only work for core Amego screens, Articles, or Sessions — you cannot deep link to a custom screen.
  • Deep links can't be used from within the app. For example, an Article can't contain a deep link that opens another part of the app.
  • Visibility rules still apply. For example, if you have three Quest games set up for three different Attendee Types, a Quest deep link will open whichever game that attendee is meant to see.
