Add the ability to specify a Custom URL schemes

Questions about Thunkable

Custom URL Schemes are a way to register a URL with the OS, e.g. myapp://doSomething and have my app launch if they click it. They can even take the user to specific screens, which is more than I need, but would probably help others.

Currently I’m sending text messages to notify users of a new message. But they have to manually launch the app. If there was a URL, they could just tap that URL to launch it.

Here’s Apple’s docs on Custom URL Schemes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app

Thanks for the suggestion @thunkable.com6ejt, we’d love to have something like this in the future but we’re not actively working on it right now.

If you search the community for “Deep Links” or “Deep Linking” you’ll find plenty of other discussions around this topic.

Cheers!
