Hi tk folks :tightknit-heart:! I’m doing a community contest this month that is sort of a scavenger hunt in the form of BINGO. One of the squares is complete a journey, in the contest canvas I basically just say find the :tightknit-heart: app. But is there a shortcut link that I can hyperlink that takes them straight to the app in slack? 🤔

This is a great idea! Here's how you'd copy the link to the application:

Linking From OUTSIDE of Slack: You can deep-link into the Tightknit app like so (source):
https://slack.com/app_redirect?app=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home&team=<workspace-id>
just be sure to replace <workspace-id> with yours. You should be able to find your workspace id in your browser URL on the slack web client. It'll look something like T063P42R30A. Here's an example: https://slack.com/app_redirect?app=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home&team=T063P42R30S Linking From INSIDE Slack: If you're sending a link within a Slack message, for example, use this format (source):
slack://app?id=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home&team=<workspace-id>
Here's an example: slack://app?id=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home&team=T063P42R30S

Does it only work on the desktop, Stephen C. ? When I click the last link you shared at the bottom it takes me to the web browser and shows this:

Actually that's a good point, Cheyenne R. try this format instead
slack://app?team={TEAM_ID}&id=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home

Yup I just revised my comment. It depends on where you are linking from! If you're giving this link to users outside the Slack app, use the first format. If you're sending this link to users within Slack, use the second format.

Stephen C. I actually just learned something new today. slack://app?team=T063P42R30S&id=A05QUGA17PH&tab=home also works in Chrome 🙂

Stephen C. - gave this a go and it didn't work for folks (but did work for me) and then I asked someone to navigate to the tightknit app manually and this is what they shared happen. Any other tips? Trying to get them to check out journeys

Cheyenne R. would you be open to sharing the exact link you used?

Cheyenne R. we were experiencing a temporary disruption earlier. To rule that out, could you check again and see if the issue is still happening?

Stephen C. - checked and now we have two people saying they aren't able to access the app
