Some organizations work across multiple systems by sequencing workflow steps so that users work between several different applications. This pattern can involve various methods for sequencing and switching interfaces, while accomplishing a consistent and integrated workflow. Often, this method involves low- or no-code patterns that are used to trigger an interface change, open a popup, or switch to a different native application.
Deep linking is a concept that revolves around smart links between existing mobile or native applications. Deep linking allows a specially-crafted link in application A to launch application B directly to a certain point in a workflow or a certain set of data.
Review the documentation for ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123 for additional information on deep linking and application URIs.
Examples of the cross-app integration pattern include:
Use web map popups to create a link that sends a user to another browser tab, opening a targeted URL in another system. This link can be constructed using Arcade to create a feature-specific link that brings a user directly to a detailed page or the next step of their workflow.
Use popups configured in a mobile app to link to another application available on the device, or create links in another application which can then launch an ArcGIS application. This pattern is also referred to as deep linking in some cases.
Many integration patterns involve linked workflows where users work between ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online and a set of apps or interfaces hosted by an external system. ArcGIS Pro can be integrated by using an external file download or link to launch an ArcGIS Pro session, or through popups or tasks in ArcGIS Pro that can be used to launch a separate workflow step.
