deep-links #7022

My Issue/Suggestion
Issue 1:
You reference an entity called "Parameter," but this entity does not exist by default. Users must create it themselves and assign the appropriate permissions.
Issue 2:
While this page describes what Deeplinks are, it lacks detailed information on their functionality. It mentions that deep links will open the app, but the primary purpose of using deep links, which is opening a specific page via a URL, is not adequately addressed.
In Chapter 4, the following statement is made:
"If you skip this section, the links to your app will just open the app. Nothing will be done with the additional data available in your URL."
However, the chapter fails to explain how to open a specific page using the additional data present in the URL. It merely displays a message with some parameters, which may not align with the user's expectations when working with deep links.
It would be beneficial to provide practical use cases, such as opening the details of an invoice based on the invoice number (using query parameters).
Currently, additional research is required to understand how to use deep links more naturally. In conclusion, this knowledge base lacks sufficient clarity.

I updated the doc to tackle issue 1. But issue 2 still requires further evaluation from the developers. (cc: @ConnorLand )

@MxKevinBeqo and I are taking a look at final touches before merging #12202 to fix this.

Hi @ricoroodenburg ,
Thank you for your feedback on the deep linking doc. It's been on my list of quality improvements for too long, but I hope you'll be pleased to see some changes we've made in response to your feedback.
@MxKevinBeqo and I have prepared a PR which gives more guidance on parameters, discusses the primary purposes of deep links, and also adds entirely new testing sections to relavant docs. These testing sections address the need for examples you noted -- now, users can easily see a practical invoice example of a deep linking-enabled app which takes them to a specific page using the technology.
Please excuse the delay, and should we see you again soon in the repo your issue will be handled speedily.
Best,
Connor
