In-App Links
Linking within your Touchpoint app
The Touchpoint content management system makes it easy to link from one section of the app to another. The WYSIWYG editor will take shortened urls and generate the necessary deep link for you.
Constructing the URL
First, from within the Touchpoint Content Management System, navigate to the feature or item within a feature you wish to link to. We will use this CMS URL to construct our In-App link.
Exhibitor Link Example
In this example we will construct an In-App Link to an Exhibitors feature as well as a specific Exhibitor within that feature. We will use it within the body of a Message.
From the WYSIWYG editor we first highlight the text we would like to turn in to a link and then select the Link button to bring up the link dialog.
- Select "touchpoint://" from the protocol dropdown.
- We will need to edit the CMS URL to match the shorthand mobile app schema as seen here.
- If you have multiple instances of a feature enabled you will need the feature ID as shown in the URL above.
- See below for more examples of paths taken from the CMS and converted to shorthand in-app links.
