Trigger a Mail Link to a Specific App

[Craig_D]

Hi there,

I have two versions of Wrike (Project Management tool), each is linked to a different account. One is the Wrike native app, the other is a Chrome app. I need a way to be able to choose between one or the other when clicking a mail notification link.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

@Craig_D

need a way to be able to choose between one or the other when clicking a mail notification link.

What exactly do you mean by "mail notification link" ?

Hi! I mean that whenever someone comments in my Wrike account, it sends me an email notification, which then lets me click on that link to open it in the app or browser. See the blue button in the attached email screenshot.

My challenge is that I have 2 versions of Wrike. One is a native app that uses Chrome, the other is a Safari app. Since I get notifications from both accounts, somehow I need to be able to trigger one or the other to open from the email notification link.

Thanks!
Craig

Thanks!

Can you check what a "Show HUD" action triggered while hovering the blue button shows when you enter {hovered_link} ?

Does it recognize the link to the app?

Here’s what shows…

ok, there is some link checker injected by your company but that might be ok. It recognizes the hovered link so that could be used. What happens in general when you click that link? WHere does it open?

Now the question is how to open that link in a specific wrike.
The macOS open command allows to specify a bundle identifier - for example to open a url in edge you can use

/usr/bin/open -b com.microsoft.edgemac "https://google.com"

Maybe that could be used to open the link in a specific wrike instance.
Could you try to figure out the bundle identifier of the wrike native app?

Andreas,

Thanks for your help! I found a simple workaround that I will use. If I simply right-click, I can select “Open with Safari” for one account and “Open with Chrome” for the other.
