Is there a way to implement deep linking with descope? My use case is a deep link sent to a user via email -> user follows link which redirects to descope for auth -> user returns to the deep link url after authentication with descope.

Deep Linking with Descope Yes, Descope supports deep linking for your exact use case. You can pass the original deep link URL as a parameter and have users return to it after authentication. Implementation Approach 1. Include your deep link URL as a query parameter when redirecting to Descope 2. Configure Descope to return users to a callback URL that handles the deep link 3. Extract the original deep link from the callback and redirect users accordingly
Copy code
// When redirecting to Descope, include your deep link as a parameter
const originalDeepLink = '<myapp://product/123>';
const descopeAuthUrl = `<https://auth.descope.com/flow?flowId=your-flow&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent('https://yourapp.com/callback')}&state=${encodeURIComponent(originalDeepLink)}`;>
// Redirect user to Descope
window.location.href = descopeAuthUrl;
Callback Handling
Copy code
// In your callback handler (/callback route)
const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
const code = urlParams.get('code');
const originalDeepLink = urlParams.get('state');
// Exchange code for tokens, then redirect to original deep link
if (code && originalDeepLink) {
  // Complete authentication
  await exchangeCodeForTokens(code);
  
  // Redirect to original deep link
  window.location.href = decodeURIComponent(originalDeepLink);
}
• The
state
parameter preserves your original deep link URL through the authentication flow • After successful authentication, Descope redirects to your specified
redirect_uri
with the authorization code • For mobile apps, configure app links to handle the deep link redirects properly Use Descope With FlutterFlow | Descope Documentation Create Redirect URI for Sign-In Request | API Reference | Descope Documentation React Native Quickstart | Descope Documentation
