I have a web app running in Browser through which I can send Registration links. The registration link is received in Gmail. When a user, accessing the link from a mobile device, the link opens in Gmail in-app browser.
I want the link to be opened in user's default browser.
How can I achieve this?
Note: Do not suggest changing Gmail settings. Suggest code related changes only

How do I create a desktop call to action that goes to either (Apple) Appstore or (Android) Google Play depending on the end-user's needs?
I know we can create multi-link QR codes for mobile but is there anything similar for the desktop?
The functionality you're looking for can reside at the URL in the QR code. The embedded URL could link to a webpage that checks user agents and redirects appropriately. If the Safari on iOS user agent is detected, redirect to Apple's App Store. An Android user agent would be redirected to an appropriate app store. I would set all other user agents to go to a product page with links to both stores.
This could be a nice example!
href="mailto:johndoe#xyz.com"
The above code snippet on an anchor tag should open a default mail client on any system but now it's going to an external URL "https://sso.secureserver.net/?realm=pass&app=ox&saas=0®ion=am2"
You can try with any of the old web pages you've built, It goes to this URL all of a sudden.
Does anyone know why?
Its really weired
It must be a redirection set from your browser/OS. Check what is your default email client in browser.
So as most of you guys said it was configured in my mail setting's / prefrences. So google chrome was set as default mail client and it went to the godaddy URL.
I followed https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201607 to get it fixed and everthing is working smooth now! Thanks Everyone!
How to change your default email app
Make sure that the other email app is installed. Although you might be able to use a web browser for email (webmail), a web browser isn't an email app.
Open the Mail app.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click General.
Choose an email app from the ”Default email reader” menu.
I have created a web page with a tel scheme link, this links works fine when the web page is opened in the mobile browser.
I want to send this webpage as a mail body like a e-mailer, using emailtheweb.com where it captures the webpage and sends it as the webpage in e-mail body.
When i open the mail in my gmail app on android or ios and click the link created with the tel scheme functionality it wont work. Rather it redirects me to the link in a web browser of mobile example: www.xyz.com/tel:+000000000
Is there a way to achieve this functionality? Where after clicking the link in the gmail app it can call the number?
Thanks in advance. :)
What is the preferred URL to use to open an iOS app in it's App Store web page as well as the iTunes app (when available on the host device)?
I've tried using the itms:// protocol but this opens the app details in the iTunes app only and so is of no use when the URL is navigated to from an Android or Windows phone for example.
I believe you would want to look at the browser to determine which link to use. If the browser is Safari on iOS device, give them the iTunes protocol link, otherwise, http://.
I believe javascript allows you to read such information: Take a look here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_browser.asp
I've discovered that the behaviour of a URL opening an iTunes preview web page before automatically opening the iTunes app on the host device (where available) is triggered by affiliate links (which need to track the click before taking the user to the intended destination).
for some reason, the following code doesn't work. I don't understand where the issue is. I just want to open a client e-mail app to send an e-mail.
Send an email to a friend
Safari visits the page "mailto:enter-friend#address-here.com?subject=Pa0Website&body=This%20e-mail%20has%20been%20sent%20to%20inform%20you%20about%20%20website:%20"
Chrome doesn't do anything
I haven't tested on other browsers so far.
Thanks
You don't get to decide how the client deals with a mailto link. Each user/browser can do what it wants with those links. For instance, I have my chrome setup to open GMail when I click mailto links. Apparently you have yours setup to not do anything. Here's a random link running down how to do something like this on your system - http://bnee.com/2008/09/make-mailto-links-open-in-gmail-in-google-chrome-browser-windows-xp-and-vista/
