Hi oskarkuus,

To generate a deep link to a specific SharePoint page in your custom Microsoft Teams app, follow these steps:

Obtain the URL of the SharePoint page you want to link to, for example: https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Intranat/SitePages/MyPage.aspx.
URI encode the SharePoint URL, replacing any special characters with their encoded values. You can use online tools for this encoding.
Construct the deep link for your Teams app. The format is https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<AppId>/<EntityID>. Replace <AppId> with your app's ID and <EntityID> with the ID of the tab within your app.
For example: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/8bf7ccfe-406b-4129-a504-f406901ae8c5/091a285d-5536-42b5-94c8-94a4060efb79
Append the encoded SharePoint URL as a query parameter named webUrl to the deep link. Ensure the query parameter is properly formatted.
For example: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/8bf7ccfe-406b-4129-a504-f406901ae8c5/091a285d-5536-42b5-94c8-94a4060efb79?webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmycompany.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FIntranat%2FSitePages%2FMyPage.aspx

This composed URL should open your app in Microsoft Teams and navigate directly to the specified SharePoint page.

LeonPavesic

Thank you.

But that is how i think i just wrote how i have done

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/8bf7ccfe-406b-4129-a504-f406901ae8c5/091a285d-5536-42b5-94c8-94a4060efb79?webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmycompany.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FIntranat%2FSitePages%2FMyPage.aspx

This URL is :

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<appID>/<entityId>?webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmycompany.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FIntranat%2FSitePages%2FMyPage.aspx

And according to your guide i think this should be correct?

What am i doing wrong?

Hi oskarkuus,

it seems you've already tried the correct approach but I would still recommend to check:
SharePoint Page Access:
Verify that users have the necessary permissions to access the specific SharePoint page you're linking to. Insufficient permissions could prevent the deep link from working as expected.

    Hello oskarkuus
    sorry for the delay in response ,
    We have repro'd the steps with tab app navigation sample but the composed URL works fine in opening app in Microsoft Teams and navigate directly to the specified SharePoint page.
    Could you please confirm or let us know whether you are still facing this issue?
