# Deep Linking

Rocket.Chat supports deep linking for mobile and desktop clients, enabling links that open specific content or trigger actions within the application. This is implemented through registered URLs handled directly by the clients.

Two prefixes are available for deep links:

1. **Go links:** Links that begin with `https://go.rocket.chat`. These are universal and supported across web, mobile, and desktop clients.
2. **Custom protocol:** Links that use the `rocketchat://` prefix and are supported by mobile and desktop clients.

`https://go.rocket.chat/` and `rocketchat://` are interchangeable in supported environments.

## Adding server and authentication links

- **Add a server:** Deep links can add a server to a client using a universal link.
- **Authentication links:** Links beginning with `https://go.rocket.chat/auth` can include the server host, user token, and user ID to authenticate a user automatically.

**Examples:**

**Link directly to a server**

```arduino
https://go.rocket.chat/auth?host=open.rocket.chat
```

**Link to a server and authenticate**

```arduino
https://go.rocket.chat/auth?host=foo.bar.com&token=123abc&userId=1234abcd
```

## Room links

Deep links can open a specific room using the `https://go.rocket.chat/room` prefix. These links require the server host and the room ID (`rid`). An optional web path can also be included.

**Example:**

```bash
https://go.rocket.chat/room?host=open.rocket.chat&rid=GENERAL&path=channel/general
```

## Invite links

Invite links use the `https://go.rocket.chat/invite` prefix and require the server host and a path containing the invitation token.

**Example**:

```bash
https://go.rocket.chat/invite?host=open.rocket.chat&path=invite/xyzxyZ
```

## Conference call links

Conference calls can be initiated using the `https://go.rocket.chat/conference` prefix. These links require the server host, the conference path (`conferenceId`), the call URL, and the provider name.

**Example:**

```bash
https://go.rocket.chat/conference?host=open.rocket.chat&path=conference/12345?callUrl=https://providerHost/someinfoOrPath&callProvider=...
```
