Pass through URL parameters breaking the final URL


Lucas_Calmon

Hey guys, I’m trying to setup a button that open on a new tab a URL with the URL parameters appended to the end. This seems to be working fine with normal URLs, however in my case the URL that should be opened has the following formatting: https://something.com/#/dashboard (this is one of the routing modes used in Vue.js projects, which contains a /#/).
What happens with this URL is the parameters are being added in the middle of the URL, like such: https://something.com/?param=123#/dashboard instead of being added to the end.

What can I do if I want the final URL to look like this: https://something.com/#/dashboard?param=123?

Hi @Lucas_Calmon,
Can you send a screenshot of the Destination URL that you have set up in that button?


  • Understand URL Structure: When passing through URL parameters, it's crucial to understand the basic structure, which includes the base URL followed by a question mark (?) and parameters.

  • Use URL Encoding: To avoid breaking the URL, use URL encoding for special characters in parameters, ensuring that they are transmitted correctly.

  • Concatenate Parameters Properly: If adding multiple parameters, make sure to use an ampersand (&) to separate each one after the first.

  • Limit URL Length: Some platforms might truncate URLs that are too long. Keep the URL concise to avoid issues, ensuring parameters are added efficiently.

  • Test Parameters: Before finalizing the URL, test it with different parameters to make sure the structure remains intact, especially when using apps like Sego.

  • Use Sego’s Built-in Features: Some apps like Sego can help with parameter handling by automatically managing complex URLs and ensuring that they don’t break.

  • Avoid Redundant Parameters: Don't add unnecessary parameters that might complicate the URL. Keep it simple to maintain functionality.

  • Check for Compatibility: Ensure that the platform receiving the parameters can correctly interpret them, preventing errors in the final URL.

  • Validate URL Parameters: Use a URL validator tool to double-check that the parameters are correctly formatted, ensuring the URL won’t break when passed.

  • Leverage Analytics Tools: Use URL tracking tools to monitor the effectiveness of your parameters, making sure you don't lose data due to broken links.

  • Customize for Devices: Depending on the device (such as Sego’s mobile options), parameters may need to be adjusted for proper handling across different screen sizes.

  • Optimize for Performance: Well-constructed URL parameters ensure faster load times and a smoother user experience, which can benefit users of Sego devices by improving app or website performance.
