Defining Internal URLs

Internal URLs are links that open within your desktop app window instead of an external browser window i.e. Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc.

If you want to force a page to open in the user's browser then you can use our openUrlInBrowser API.

By default, login provider URLs (also known as OAuth) and URLs on the same domain as your app are considered internal.

Here is an example of some links considered internal and external if your web app is https://www.icecream.com:

Login providers currently supported include: Facebook, LinkedIn, Github, Twitter and Google.

# Adding Internal URLs

You can add more internal URLs if needed.

In your Edit app page, select the Internal URLs checkbox under App Options. Here you can add a regex (short for regular expression) of URLs to be considered internal.

For example, if your app is https://www.icecream.com and you want to include the domains of apple.com and amazon.com as internal, this is how the regex input would look:

        ^(https?:\/\/)?(.*)?(apple\.com|amazon\.com\/).*
