What is the method for sending variable parameters when opening an app added to Mobile Teams via a deep link?

Question

I have created a personal app within Teams. This personal app calls a specific URL. I wanted to provide a deep link for accessing this personal app that I created. From my research, I created the deep link in the following format: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/{app-id}?user_id=12345 I aim to dynamically add parameters to the deep link and have the personal app perform various tasks through these parameters. However, the added parameters are not being properly transmitted. The added contents URL is https://mbtm73.naonsoft.kr/ekp/inc/azure/guest/openTeamsWebView?pageType=eap, but only the pageType is transmitted, and values that should be variable, like user_id, are not received by the controller. It seems that the contents URL is called when the app is called via the deep link. I am curious about how to dynamically assign parameters to the deep link.

Yes, it is possible to create a deep link to your personal app in Teams. You can do this by manually configuring the deep link using your app ID or by using the TeamsJS library. The basic format of a deep link is: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<appId>/<entityId>?webUrl=<entityWebUrl>&label=<entityLabel>&context=<context> where appId is the ID for your Teams Application and entityId is the ID for the specific tab you are linking to. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-links

You can also dynamically add parameters to the deep link by including them in the context field of the deep link URL. The context field is a JSON object that can contain any data you want to pass to your personal app. When the user opens the deep link, your app can extract the data from the context object and use it to perform various tasks.
