Need a deep link (or shareable link) to allow my users to go directly to the Approvals App (approvals hub) - received list in the Teams App (not web).
I've searched and searched and cannot find anything. This is the closest I'm getting which gets me to a dialogue box that asks to open the approvals "hub" (app).
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/7c316234-ded0-4f95-8a83-8453d0876592?source=app-details-dialog
But, I'd like to "auto open" this and put them right on "their approvals" (received) page in the approvals app in the teams app.
Please help.

Do you know of a way to navigate to a specific environment other than the default enviornment?
So, https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/7c316234-ded0-4f95-8a83-8453d0876592 partially works. I've also tried msteams://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/7c316234-ded0-4f95-8a83-8453d0876592?approvals/received.
I've tried other similar links to no avail.
Virtually every attempt initially gives me a prompt of "Open Microsoft Teams" (which is ok) and sometimes a checkbox to "always open". That is fine.
The problem is the next step.
The link attempts to take me into my Teams app when I click "Open Microsoft Teams". However, it stops just short of my goal.
I get a screen within Teams asking me to open my Approvals app. There is no button to "always open" here.
I really don't want the users to have to click open on the 2nd prompt within Teams to get to the Approvals app. I want them to go straight to my desired destination - "the approvals hub" within Teams.

I've attached a doc with screen shots of all this.
Please advise.

In the document its already mentioned that the dialog box appears to install the app in deep linking to an app.
This doesn't seem to be feasible to directly open the app without getting Add or Open button on dialog.
Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience, some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, we recommend you give your new idea in Teams Microsoft Teams Community here.

This is the only deeplink you can use for opening an app.
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/<your-app-id>
At the first time it gives option to open. But after adding the App in specific scope like chat, team, meeting then it will directly open. This is expected behaviour.
