Overview

The HCL Verse app for iOS and Android can be started using the URL scheme ibmverse:// with identifier com.ibm.lotus.traveler. For example, a Traveler administrator can build a web page that includes the link ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler to start Verse, or build a custom internal app that uses the mailto parameter to start Verse with a pre-addressed mail message to send to the internal help desk.

Note: HCL Verse app for iOS also supports the URL scheme hclverse://.

Starting the Verse app in the mail, calendar, actions, or people view

To start the HCL Verse app in the mail, calendar, actions, or people view, use the corresponding URL to provide a link:

ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/mail
ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/calendar
ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/actions
ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/people

Clicking the link starts the Verse app and opens it to the specified view (mail, calendar, actions or people). The first time the app starts, the user see the account configuration screen and can enter a user ID and password to log into Verse.

Starting the Verse app in the compose view

    &cc=ccEmailOne,ccEmailTwo
    &bcc=bccEmailOne,bccEmailTwo
    &subject=email_subject
    &body=email_body

All the mailto parameters are optional. For example, to make it easy for a user to compose an email to the internal party organizers when a user has a question about the company party, you could use only the following parameters:

ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/mailto?
    to=partyteam@mycompany.com
