Deep link not appearing as a clickable link in an email on Android

Question

I have tried two ways to send a deep link to an android phone by email:

<a href="mycoolapp://somepath">Open my app</a>

and

mycoolapp://somepath

Neither of these produces a clickable link when the email is viewed on an Android phone. The first (which was the way recommended by the ionic plugin I use) just shows the raw html.

Is there a way to make the deep link clickable in the same way that a url is?

Answer 1

Some email clients do not like abnormal protocol and they remove links from href attribute. When you inspect, you can see that a element is still there, but href is missing.

The workaround for this is to use normal url and redirect from there like proxy eg.

https://example.com?url=mycoolapp://somepath
