How to create a custom URL scheme in Adalo?

Step 1: Open Your Adalo Project

First things first, hop into your Adalo dashboard. Make sure your app is either already created or you're in the middle of building it.

Step 2: Navigate to Actions

Head over to the screen where you want to set up a custom URL scheme. Click on the component you want to link, like a button or an image. On the right side, in the properties panel, scroll down until you find the "Actions" section.

Step 3: Add a New Action

Click "Add Action" and pick the "Link" action type from the list. This tells Adalo you want to link to another screen or set up a custom URL scheme.

Step 4: Configure the URL Scheme

In the URL field, type in your custom URL scheme. For example, if you want to set up an email link, you might use mailto:[email protected]. If you have a different custom scheme, you might use something like myapp://someaction.

Step 5: Test the Custom URL

To make sure everything's working, preview your app. Click the component with the custom URL action and check if it does what you want, like opening an email client or redirecting to a specific app.

Step 6: Save and Publish

Once you're sure the custom URL scheme is working, save your changes. When your app is ready and fully tested, publish or update it so your users can start using the custom URL scheme.
