Deep linking into Viva Engage

You can create a deep link to the Viva Engage app in Microsoft Teams or to any entity within Viva Engage, such as a community or a campaign. For example, create and forward a link to a conversation that a leader shared, a community that you're launching, or a campaign you're emailing about.

This article discusses how to manually construct different deep links into the Viva Engage app.

Tip

While the https://aka.ms/... link is shorter, we recommend the longer https://teams.microsoft.com... link if you're sharing the deep link in Teams. This way, you link directly to the Viva Engage tab without opening a new browser window.

Deep link to the Viva Engage store entry

The following links open the Viva Engage store page in Microsoft Teams:

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Install

• https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/db5e5970-212f-477f-a3fc-2227dc7782bf

Deep link to Viva Engage directly

The following links open Viva Engage in a browser and engage.cloud.microsoft, respectively. If the user has the Viva Engage mobile app installed, the links open the Viva Engage app.

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Web

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Yammer

The following links directly open Viva Engage in Microsoft Teams. If the app isn't installed, the link action prompts the user to do so.

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Launch

• https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/db5e5970-212f-477f-a3fc-2227dc7782bf/vivaengage

The following link directly opens Viva Engage in Outlook, if available:

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Outlook

Deep link to Answers in Viva

To directly open Viva Engage in Teams to the Answers in Viva page, use one of the following links:

• https://aka.ms/AnswersInViva

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Answers

• https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/db5e5970-212f-477f-a3fc-2227dc7782bf/vivaengage?context=%7B%22subEntityId%22%3A%22type%3Dcustom%2Cdata%3Dquestionspage%3A_%22%7D

Deep link to Leadership corner

In the browser (engage.cloud.microsoft) or the mobile app:

• https://aka.ms/LeadershipCorner

• https://engage.cloud.microsoft/main/leadership-corner

In Teams:

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/LeadershipCorner

• https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/db5e5970-212f-477f-a3fc-2227dc7782bf/vivaengage?context=%7B%22subEntityId%22:%22type=custom,data=leadershipcorner:null%22%7D

Deep link to a Viva Engage entity

Links in these formats open the entity in Viva Engage in Teams.

• https://aka.ms/VivaEngage/Launch?context=%7B%22subEntityId%22:%22type=custom,data=<EntityType>:<EntityId>%22%7D
• https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/db5e5970-212f-477f-a3fc-2227dc7782bf/vivaengage?context=%7B%22subEntityId%22:%22type=custom,data=<EntityType>:<EntityId>%22%7D

To complete the deep link, define the following values:

1. Replace <EntityType> with one of the following entity types:

   Type	Replace <EntityType> with...
   Post	thread
   Community	group
   Storyline	user
   Campaign	campaign

2. Fill in the <EntityId>. The easiest way is to go to the corresponding page on engage.cloud.microsoft and paste the last part of the URL.

For example, for the storyline of https://engage.cloud.microsoft/main/users/eyJfdHlwZSI6IlVzZXIiLCJpZCI6IjUwMzIxMDg3kyOCJ9, replace <EntityId> with eyJfdHlwZSI6IlVzZXIiLCJpZCI6IjUwMzIxMDg3kyOCJ9.

Important

Don't omit the %22%7D at the end of the URLs.
