I can not get this to work.

This is how i did.

 


This is the result :

 

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/00000000-0000-0000-0000-ee00425598aa/?webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcompany.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2Fnat%2FSitePages%2FMySite.aspx

 

 

When i click on the link, it does open the viva connection app.

But it does not go to my sharepoint page on that site. So the link is still not a deeplink, it just goes to the application.

 

 

edit:

 

i also tried this in powershell

# Define variables
$vivaConnectionsAppId = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-ee00425598aa"
$sharePointPageUrl = "https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/net/SitePages/MyPage.aspx"

# Encode the SharePoint URL
$encodedSharePointPageUrl = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($sharePointPageUrl)

# Generate the deep link
$deepLink = "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/$vivaConnectionsAppId/?webUrl=$encodedSharePointPageUrl"

# Open the deep link in the default web browser
Start-Process $deepLink


I get the same result.

    I dont have the knowledge how to use ms teams js library with tab or bot app...

    the url i want should be used within adaptive cards so a button can point the user to a page in viva connection app (sp site).

    Navigating to the app itself (viva connection) works, but the deep linking to a SP site in the viva connection app does not work.

    Hello oskarkuus - Could you please let us know how you have integrated the SharePoint Site/page inside Viva Connections app?
    If you have any test link (Encoded if possible), please share so that we can quickly test it from your end?

      I am not sure what you are asking.

      The Viva Connection app is in teams on the left menu

      Navigating via URL to the app works. but not to a page on the sp site.
      SP site link: https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/Intranat/SitePages/MyPage.aspx
      Link to the app like this works: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/d2c6f111-ffad-42a0-b65e-ee00425598aa

       

      But the deep link i can not get to work.

      https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/$vivaConnectionsAppId/?webUrl=$encodedSharePointPageUrl

      Above become this: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/d2c6f111-ffad-42a0-b65e-ee00425598aa/?webUrl=https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/Intranat/SitePages/MyPage.aspx


      Clicking on this link just lead to the app, no deep-linking.

      Encoding above link gives this result:
      https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/d2c6f111-ffad-42a0-b65e-ee00425598aa/?webUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fcompany.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FIntranat%2FSitePages%2FMyPage.aspx

       


      But this link still just lands on the app, no deep-linking.

      So the problem is not navigating to viva connection app, it is to get the app to display a specific page on that sharepoint site.
