Like with Slack, you can tell the operating system that you want to handle a custom scheme. For example, when you get a Magic Link email from Slack, the Launch Slack button is an anchor tag with an href that looks something like: slack://secret/magic-login/other-secret. Like using the mailto scheme, it's possible to link to other applications by using custom url schemes. Read more about built-in URL schemes below. Similarly, there are schemes for making phone calls and sending SMS. When you open a link with the mailto scheme, your operating system will open an installed mail application. In addition to https, you're likely also familiar with the mailto scheme. Linking gives you a general interface to interact with both incoming and outgoing app links.Įvery Link (URL) has a URL Scheme, some websites are prefixed with or and the http is the URL Scheme.
