Linking Buttons with an App/App Store

Posted on by naumanm

I am looking to connect two buttons with the app store. If I select the "OneNote" or "OneDrive" button, I would like people to be automatically directed to the app store to download them. If the app is already downloaded, I would like it to bypass the app store and take them directly to the app. Any help would be much appreciated as I've been struggling to find a solution!

Hi naumanm,

I’m afraid that we currently don’t have a way to know if an app is already downloaded or not.

While there is a way to direct people to the app store to download app using Launch function.

Please check more details about Launch function at here:

Please try it on your side and feel free reply if you need more help.

Best regards,
Mabel Mao

Thanks for the response. I am trying to use the launch function while also including a web address but to no avail. Also, not sure if there is an App ID for OneDrive and OneNote I should be using instead of a web address to be redirected to the app store.

UPDATE: To link with the App store for iPhones, you can use the following below to link OneDrive and OneNote:

OneDrive | OnSelect = Launch("https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-onedrive-file-photo-cloud-storage/id477537958?mt=8")
OneNote | OnSelect = Launch("https://itunes.apple.com/app/id410395246?mt=8")

An important note is that this only works for iPhones and not Androids. If you select a button with the coding above on an Android, it will take you to iTunes.

Does anyone have advice on coding that works for both iPhones and Androids?

Thanks.
