General information

Our mobile and desktop clients have implemented deeplinking that will allow them to handle links meant for Rocket.Chat.

This is done using a special url that the applications are registered to handle.

There are two prefixes available:

• https://go.rocket.chat

• rocketchat://

We call https://go.rocket.chat links go links. Links here will work across web, mobile and desktop clients.

The alternative will only be handled by mobile and desktop clients.

In all examples below https://go.rocket.chat/ is interchangeable with rocketchat://

Authentication

These links can be used for adding a server to your client in one click. This makes it easier for deployment. You then have a universal link that will add to the clients.

You can also include credentials to make it add the server and auto log them in.

Authentication links start with: https://go.rocket.chat/auth

Params:

• host: The host of the server;

• token (optional): The token of the user to be authenticated;

• userId (optional): The id of the user to be authenticated;

Examples:

Link directly to server:

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

Link directly to server and authenticate:

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

Channel / Group / DM

You can also link directly to a room.

These links start with: https://go.rocket.chat/room

Params:

• host: The host of the server;

• rid: The rid of the room to be opened;

• path (optional): The path URL to be opened on the web;

Example:

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