Deeplinking to Successfactors app using a function in Now mobile app does not work on Android, it does on iOS

[Jan Boersma]

I want to deeplink from the Now app to Successfactors app with a function.

The url I'am using is: bizx://?urlType=deeplink&deeplinkType=launchApp

I added the "bizx" to the glide.sg.allowed_external_deeplinks system properties.

I tested this on iOS and this works fine, it opens the Successfactors app.

On Android however I get the message "Missing app", however if I test this url  for example from chrome, using the website https://halgatewood.com/deeplink en type in the url "bizx://?urlType=deeplink&deeplinkType=launchApp"

It opens the Successfactors app without a problem.

Does anyone have a solution?

HI Jan,

Just an observation from the Academy, there should be no space between the values in property - glide.sg.allowed_external_deeplinks

If you have two values then it should be - zoomus,bizx --> no space between them just comma. 

Thanks

Hi Murali,

The glide.sg.allowed_external_deeplinks parameter contains the following

"bizx,slack,googlechromes,microsoft-edge-https,microsoft-edge-http,microsoft-edge,timefighter"

The strange thing is that "slack" works on Android, but "bizx" not.

And I'am sure the Successfactors app works because I can test that with the deeplink website in chrome.

So it seems something weird happens in the Now mobile app.

Kind Regards,

Yes strange, try the "Open in external browser" option, also try to clear the cookies for the sucessfactor in the android app.   

Thanks
