• Example for if you want to redirect customers back into an app.
• Allows you to have https url that creates deep link implementation by IOS or Android
• For a use case where you know they already have on their phones.
• Not for when you want navigation to the App/Play store.
• Was useful to me when I wanted to point my facebook bot users back to the app they came from https://docs.expo.io/workflow/linking/#linking-to-your-app

How it works:

• For IOS it will be redirected on page load (with popup for user approval).
• For Android the user will have to click a button (href). https://youtu.be/iFwm8fYxUQg

Deployment

If you already have existing aws account, I recommend auto deploying this kind of React web app with : aws-amplify

It should be self explanatory to define the following with no more then 10 minutes:

• Connect your Github repo.
• Define auto deploy on push to master branch.
• Define custom domain so you user will understand what is the purpose of the web page.

There you go, now you have a web page with https prefix you can define for your bot for when a user asks to “go back to app”.
