How to open page of application directly from external link

Soukaina IDRISSI

Hi everyone,

I have an application that allows to notify my users for the processing of the forlders, by receiving an email with a link that redirects to the specific folder to be processed.

My questions is:

1. First of all, to make it work, must the user be connected first to be redirected to the right folder to process? if yes, how can i get the current session_id of connected user (is it from &APP_SESSION.) ?
2. If the user is not connected, when he clicks on the link found in the email received, he will be redirected to the authentication page, later how could I redirect him without going through the homepage, to go directly to the folder to be treated ?

NB: Version of apex production 5.1.0

Thank you in advance for help.

Ensure that the instance and application has support for deep linking and rejoining sessions configured:

• About Support for Deep Linking
• About Enabling Support for Bookmarks
• About Rejoin Sessions
• Configuring Rejoin Sessions for an Instance
• Configuring Rejoin Sessions in Page Designer

Then just embed the link in the email (no additional parameters required), APEX will perform any authentication necessary, and then navigate to the specified folder page.

You can query APEX_WORKSPACE_SESSIONS to get a user's session id, but obviously that only works if they are logged on.

If the user doesn't have a session, you can't bypass the logon screen unless you make the page public.

You could use the rejoin session functionality to reduce the number of times a user has to logon, but the user will always have to logon at least once to create a session cookie.

Thank you for reply fac586.

So, to sum up, what are the changes that I must make to my project so that I can have access to a link (containing several parameters to the url) from my email.

Here is the configuration that I made in my project:

but without getting a good result

Is there any news regarding this post please ?

I have the same problem.

I have:

Rejoin Session: Enabled for All Sessions.

Deep Linking: Enabled

Session State Protection: Enabled

Session Sharing Type: Custom

Cookie Name: TG

The page item which is passed in the deeplink has Session State Protection: Checksum Required - Application level.

Result sofar: deep linking works, but every time I navigate to this link, I need to login, even if I'm already logged in.

If I would send an email containing 2 deep links, the received of that email would have to login every time he/she clicks another (or the same) link.

Any tips to get rejoin sessions based on the cookie working?
