Creating links to start the IBM Verse mobile app
Create links that a user can click to start the IBM Verse mobile app from a web page or email.
Overview
The IBM 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.
Starting the Verse app in the mail, calendar, actions, or people view
To start the IBM 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
To start the IBM Verse app in the compose mail view, use the following URL:
ibmverse://com.ibm.lotus.traveler/mailto?
to=toEmailOne,toEmailTwo
&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
&subject=Holiday%20Party
The following example shows all of the parameters that Verse supports:
to=joe@mycompany.com
&cc=tim@anothercompany.com,bob@thirdcompany.com
&bcc=john@mycompany.com,mary@example.com
&subject=Mail%20Subject
&body=Mail%20Body
