I am looking for a way to code a link to open an instant messaging program. I have found the ways to open aim and yahoo chat, but not Jabber. Any ideas?
AIM: <a href='aim:goim?screenname=foo'>foo</a>
Yahoo Chat: <a href='ymsgr:chat?foo'>foo</a>
Use xmpp:alice#example.com?message - obviously you have to replace the address.
See http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0032.html for details.
According to RFC, Jabber link should be xmpp:my#jid.tld

I'm using Whatsapp Click-to-chat functionality, without a phone number. It previously worked but with the new Chrome version 76.0.3809.132, both on iOS and Android is not working anymore. On Android, it's showing a Toast with Couldn't open link. Tried contacting Whatsapp Support but no answer as of yet. With the latest update their own documentation example is not working, link to docs. Any suggestions or experiences?
Link example:
<a target="_blank" href="https://wa.me/?text=Villa%20stone%20road%20piece%2015%20meters%20from%20the%20asphalt%20street" title="Share on WhatsApp">

If you use https://api.whatsapp.com/send instead of https://wa.me/ you don't need to specify a phone number.
e.g
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Your%20Custom%20Text
It seems that chrome does not accept click to chat without a number specified. Once there's a number in the URL it works just fine.
Unfortunately I did not find a hack to get around it. Neither of this worked:
https://wa.me//?text=Hello%20World
https://wa.me/0/?text=Hello%20World
only if a proper number is specified it will open WhatsApp, but has the recipient already pre selected (the number we provide).
I tested it for a client about 2 weeks ago, when it still worked. So the last update of Chrome (from Aug 26) seems to be the problem...
The best is to use the custom url scheme format. Universal links do not work well with native clients
whatsapp://send/?phone=&text&source&data
It will work without phone number also.
My issue on a recent breaking-change: Universal links stopped working
There was a great blog post about the issue, however it is already outdated and proposes a php specific solution (nevertheless might gives you a good idea, how to think about the problem)
const text = "Hello..."
const phoneNumber = "23400000000000"
Linking.openURL(`whatsapp://send?text=${text}&phone=${phoneNumber}`)
First: Official Whatsapp Sharing Documentation. One of the following URLs is recommended for WEB use...
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=YourShareTextHere&phone=123
And these for MOBILE use...
whatsapp://send?text=YourShareTextHere
whatsapp://send?text=YourShareTextHere&phone=123

[Posting this in case someone else experience this issue]
We are using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for our marketing campaign and Litmus as our email clients simulating tool.
For testing purpose, we added a litmustest email into one of the Data Extension.
For some unknown reason, the litmustest mail will be unsubscribed after every email sent and have to be re-activated from admin panel before the next test.
Litmus will click all the links in an email in order to run the link check test in Checklists. It'll try to ignore unsubscribe links by looking for the word 'Unsubscribe' but sometimes this is not what appears in the email.
The workaround to prevent this is adding" litmus-data-ignore" to you link and that will prevent the system from clicking that specific link when running the link check test. It'd look something like below:
<a href="unsubscribe_link" data-litmus-ignore>Remove me from mailing list</a>
Source: Litmus admin
found a blog describing the solution after I'd found the solution from admin directly.
Hope this helps!
This is a html link/href/url when you want to open a link with an email client (like outlook)
Send Mail
What should be an html link when you want to open the link with a calendar client (like calendar from microsoft outlook or similar calendar application) in order for them to also save some information regarding appointments/events?
Is there a general approach to these urls to be able to open with them different applications?
Thank you
There's no common link to be used across different calendars (Google, Outlook, etc...) you can work with some of those, but my suggestion is to use free "link builders" like http://addtocalendar.com or https://www.addevent.com for example.
I resolved this by creating below registry entry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal]
#="URL:Outlook Add Internet Calendar"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell]
#="open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlookwebcal\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\root\\office16\\Outlook.exe\" /select outlook:calendar"
then markup should be like
<button id="outlookCalendarBtn" onclick="window.open('outlookwebcal:')">
Open Outlook Calendar
</button>
I want to share a link via URL scheme for Telegram.
I have created this:
tg://msg?text = www.example.com?t=12
The link, opens telegram but nothing else happens.
I have used the same code for Viber, and it works:
viber://forward?text = www.example.com?t=12
And it opens a new message in Viber with this text:
www.example.com
In the other words, it cuts my URL.
Any ideas?
You can also use telegram.me share link which falls back to webogram if a telegram app is not installed on the device.
https://telegram.me/share/url?url=<URL>&text=<TEXT>
This works with me:
tg://msg?text=Mi_mensaje&to=+1555999
You have the following options for a URL...
https://t.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
https://telegram.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
tg://msg_url?url={url}&text={text}
In case you want to confirm, here is the official API source: Core.Telegram.org: Widgets -> Sharing Button.
If you are interested in watching a project that keeps track of these URLs, then check us out!: https://github.com/bradvin/social-share-urls#telegramme
You can use the link telegram.me which will provide a preview page with an alert requesting to open the link in the application.
https://telegram.me/share/url?url=<URL>&text=<TEXT>
The second option is calling the application link directly:
tg://msg_url?url=<url>&text=<encoded-text>
I particularly prefer the second option, which also works on desktop applications.
For Telegram share:
Objective C:
if([UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]){
[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]
}else{
//App not installed.
}
Swift 3.0:
let urlString = "tg://msg?text=test"
let tgUrl = URL.init(string:urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)!)
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(tgUrl!)
{
UIApplication.shared.openURL(tgUrl!)
}else
{
//App not installed.
}
If you have used canOpenURL, then need to add in info.plist
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>tg</string>
</array>
PHP
Link
JavaScript
<script>TEXT="any text or url";</script>
<a onclick="window.location='tg://msg?text='+encodeURIComponent(TEXT);">Link</a>
Telegram
with this we can open xdg of telegram and if we select contact , by default sending text will come in message field.
Maybe you use localhost therefore it does not show share. try it in live host
To check if the Telegram is installed you can do the following (borrowed from the Whatsapp sharer module of ShareKit):
BOOL isTelegramInstalled = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]];
iOS checks if there's any app installed which can handle the tg:// scheme, which is Telegram.
Try using tg://share:
Link
Just tested, this way it works both opening telegram app or browser in case it's not installed:
let webURL = NSURL(string: "https://t.me/<YOUR ID>")!
UIApplication.shared.open(webURL as URL)
Your have two problems:
On one hand you are using the wrong scheme for sharing URLs, the correct one is msg_url;
On the other hand you are trying to share a URL with parameters. You need to encode your ? in order to make it work. The percent code is %3F
Extra Tip: Also if you want it to be a link once shared you should include the HTTPS:// encoded of course.
Try this and you'll see it works fine: tg://msg_url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%3Ft=12
If you want to open chat with bot or people, just write this simple code
<a href="https://t.me/targetedusername">
You should stop using the protocol for the desktop applications because it does not work on the evolving web: it does not work on Web apps, ChromeOS, or some mobile devices.
Always use the NEW way: https://t.me because it will open the Telegram DESKTOP app in Windows\Linux\Mac IF THE USER WANTS\HAS it, otherwise it will open the WEB page\web app which is THE WAY.

Telegram has TWO web apps that have been building out for the past year!
Both are great, adding TONs of parity, and have different approaches.
I tried to insert the following snippet in my script. By clicking the link it should do a call to a Skype account. I've been looking for hours now, but can't figure out why it doesn't work.
<pre><code><a href="callTo://USERNAME"><img src="http://goodies.skype.com/graphics/skypeme_btn_small_green.gif" border=0></a></code></pre>
Is it accepted in any way or do I miss something here?
Try "callto" (with no uppercase letters).
Link will initiate Skype to call my number!
<a href="skype:********?call">Link will initiate Skype
to call my Skype username!</a>
source: http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2010/03/create-html-link-that-starts-a-skype-call/
I have been fighting with the following link all day.
Start chat
The problem that I had was with the USERNAME part
Finally, I just solved it.
My name on Skype web page was name but the real name was name lastname. The link in my web page did make Skype to load in my Android phone but, Skype failed to find the account to wich I wanted to call (name lastname).
I tryed, and failed:
<a href="skype:name lastname?call">...
<a href="skype:name+lastname?call">...
<a href="skype:name%20lastname?call">...
<a href="skype:name-lastname?call">...
<a href="skype:name_lastname?call">...
<a href="skype:phonenumber?call">...
Then, the solution:
<a href="skype:live:emailnamewithoutdomain?call">...
I just hope u find it usefull.
And, do not forget that u have a plenty of commands to add after the ? in the url (add,call,chat,and so on).
Just for another option from their official website:
https://www.skype.com/en/developer/create-contactme-buttons
It's nice and easy to use, can be used both for chat or/and call.
