Hi,
We use Thunkable to build a wrapper app for our online magazine featuring local events, news, and offers. The app receives frequent push notifications (via OneSignal) about new issues, campaigns, or articles.
Our goal is to let users open the app directly to a specific page or magazine when they tap a push notification or a shared link.
The internal logic for routing to a specific page is already built and tested; what’s missing is a way to launch the app from a URL or handle a notification click event that passes data to the app.
Why this is needed:
When users tap a push notification, they should land on the relevant content, not just the home screen.
We’ve also received user requests to share individual pages with others. Proper deep linking would make this possible.
We already run our own server and can host any required redirect or API endpoints if Thunkable exposes the needed hooks.
Requested functionality:
-
Ability for the app to launch from a URL scheme or universal/app link (e.g. myapp://magazine?id=123&page=4).
-
Ability to access OneSignal notification payload data when the user clicks the notification (e.g. via an onNotificationOpened event or equivalent).
-
Optionally, an API or block to read app launch parameters so we can decide which page to open programmatically.
We are open to any possible workaround or beta implementation. This feature would make push notifications and content sharing vastly more useful and is critical for any content-driven or community app built on Thunkable.
