Hey everyone,
I’m Nick, a product manager on Bubble’s mobile team.
Deep linking support for push notifications is one of the most requested features we’ve heard from mobile builders, and I’m happy to say it’s here!
Starting today, the Send push notification workflow action has a new optional field: On tap, navigate to destination. Instead of dropping users on your app’s home screen when they tap a notification, you can route them to a specific, customizable view.
What’s new
Here’s what you can configure on the new destination:
- On tap, navigate to: Choose where users land on tap
- Navigation type: Stack or modal, so you control how the destination screen appears, if the destination view is not a tab
- Overlay: Open a sheet or floating group on top of the destination view
- Base view: Set what the back button leads to when there’s no navigation history, if the destination view is not a tab
- View parameters: Pass data through the notification so the destination screen knows exactly what to display and can take users directly to the relevant content
Deep linking works on both iOS and Android.
Where to find it
Open any workflow that includes a Send push notification action, where you’ll see the new On tap, navigate to destination option. Once you’ve specified the new settings, submit a new build or OTA to test on your device! Check out the documentation link for a full setup guide.
If you’ve been holding off on push notifications until deep linking was available, now’s a good time to revisit them. And if you’re already using push notifications, this is an easy upgrade worth making.
Give it a try and let us know how it goes in the thread below.
