Feature Request – URL Query Parameters Support on Public Screens (Affiliate System Use Case)

[Wiseman]

Hi Adalo Team and Community,

I’m building an affiliate system in my Adalo app. Each affiliate user would share a unique referral link like:

https://myapp.adalo.com/welcome?ref=ABC123

The goal is for the app to read the ref parameter on the public welcome screen, and then:

store the referrer code

attribute new users to the correct affiliate

track where each user came from

Currently, public screens don’t support URL query parameters in Adalo logic, which makes this use case difficult.

Is there any workaround available?
Is query parameter reading on the roadmap?

This feature would help many use cases like:

Affiliate and referral tracking

Campaign attribution

Invitation systems via link

Thanks for the great platform and for listening to your users!

Hi @Wiseman,

As I remember it is possible to read string from URL using a custom component (you will have to develop one). I’ve seen this working at least once, but I can’t find the component developer now.

Best,
Victor.

Hello @Wiseman, @Victor

Look this, is related to that topic, and the component for deep link.

Dynamic Links & Deep Links - Now Possible!

I am very pleased to announce that we appear to have solved a use-case that has been nagging at me for a long time. An essential component to our app will now be possible. I had mentioned this in a previous post (https://forum.adalo.com/t/deep-linking-from-any-url-to-the-app/33032) one month ago. Feel free to read that, but all the info to solve this can be found below. My use case seems quite common to me, but Adalo has no way of doing this. And from the public-facing Adalo roadmap, it doesn’t…

Hi Jimmy, I saw that you created the Deep Link component for Adalo. I’m interested in adding it to my app. How can I get access to it? Thank you very much!

Hi @Wiseman,

Yes, I totally forgot. Deeplinking is now built-in to Adalo: Deep Linking | Adalo Resources
And according to the documentation sending to the page with a particular data should be supported. So you can create a referrer codes collection and share them using Share deeplinks option.

A side note about docs - linking to a particular entry doesn’t seem to work:

https://adalo-internal.adalo.com/deep-linking-example/deep-linking-example/eventinfo?events=3

Instead of sending a user to the event with id=3, it sends to a list of events. @njimmy10 could you have a look?

Best,
Victor.
