This article explains how to launch the Everbridge mobile app from your own app or website and how to create deep links that take users directly to a specific Everbridge organization, including QR-code based signups.
Overview
The Everbridge mobile app supports a custom URL scheme that lets you:
- Open the Everbridge mobile app from another app or a web page.
- Send users directly to a specific Everbridge organization in the Everbridge 360 app.
- Simplify citizen signups by using deep links in QR codes and web pages.
Everbridge mobile app URL scheme
The Everbridge mobile app can be launched using a custom URL scheme.
Use the following URL scheme to launch the Everbridge app:
ebenterprise://
Opening a link such as ebenterprise:// from your app or website will attempt to open the Everbridge mobile app on the device.
Deep linking directly to an Everbridge organization
You can create deep links that send users directly to a specific Everbridge organization. This is especially useful for simplifying signup in the Everbridge 360 app.
Deep link format
Use this format for an organization-specific deep link:
ebenterprise://?companycode=YOURORGANIZATIONCODE
Replace YOURORGANIZATIONCODE with your actual Organization Code (up to 32 characters). When opened in the Everbridge 360 app, this link provides direct access to the organization identified by that code, making signups easier for citizens.
Before creating the link, ensure your organization has an Organization Code configured.
Using deep links in QR codes and web pages
You can embed the deep link in:
- A QR code, so users can scan it with their device to open the Everbridge 360 app and go directly to your organization.
- A web page link, so users can tap the link on their mobile browser to launch the app and access your organization.
Both approaches rely on the same URL scheme and deep link format described above.
