Deep Link stopped working

Posted on by EricSara77

Hi power team,

I have an app that has Deep Links and last week they were working but this week not.

No update to the app that I have made so not sure why this would happen.

In the OnStart of the app I have

If(Param("DeepLink") = "DocRepos",Navigate(srnDocumentRepositoryCreator))
 
At the end of the URL for the app I have 
&DeepLink=DocRepos
 
But the link keeps going to the home screen. 
 
I have tried this in private mode, on different browsers and evern different computers and users.  Everytime it is not working. 
 
Any ideas on why this would be and how to fix?
 
Thanks,

Hi EricSara77

First question - do you have this turned on ?

and have you checked the incoming URL to ensure the parameter is at the end.

The other thing to try is use the StartScreen property
If( Param("DeepLink") = "DocRepos", srnDocumentRepositoryCreator, YourHomeScreen )

Hi Warren,

You are a legend.

I did have the update on and the URL did have the parameter. So no idea why this is not working.

However the addition of the code to the StartScreen was the key.

Thank you so much.

Yes rather unusual if you have the Navigate OnStart turned on and the same code works on StartScreen, however I removed all my OnStart navigation code some time ago as I knew it would eventually be deprecated, so there may have been an issue with an App version affecting this.

Hi Warren,
Can you use the StartScreen to navigate a user to a page and load it with a record?

Cheers

Yes - the easiest way is to put the record Parameter filter OnVisible of the target screen (using Param("ID") as an example
If( !IsBlank(Param("ID")), Set( gblRecord, LookUp( SPList, ID = Value(Param("ID")) ) ) )

To match this, you would put OnSelect of the gallery you are normally navigating from (assuming the gallery is directly based on the actual list)
Set( gblRecord, ThisItem ); Navigate(YourFormScreen)

then the Item of the Form
LookUp( SPList, ID = gblRecord.ID )

There are also other advantages to this structure.
