I would love for weblinks to open in the same domain as the app’s custom domain. Right now I can only add an ‘open link’ action, but I think a web link would make it a better in-app experience. Thank you!

Jen - can you give a specific example of this?

If what you’re asking for is what I think you’re asking for, then it’s basically impossible (unless Glide takes ownership of the entire internet) 🙂

Let say my app domain is hello.redpanda. com I want to open a webview to the URL redpanda. com

What’s stopping you from doing that now?

Okay, so how would the feature that you’re asking for solve that problem?  
I’m sorry, but I just don’t get it.

I’m not sure if it’s a setting in Glide that’s blocking it.

This is what I see which I click the weblink…

Would probably need to see the url to fully understand, but I would also make sure that your url has https instead of http.

Yes, it has HTTPS. It’s a standard URL nothing special about it. It’s the same domain as the app. I tried other URLs and it works.

And it works fine in a browser?

It could be that it doesn’t allow itself to be embedded. You’d need to check with the website owner to find out if that is the case.

I am the website owner lol, I don’t have anything that should be blocking it, but let me double check with hosting provider.

In general, there is no reason why it shouldn’t work.  
In fact, I’ve done it myself.  
I have two Private Pro apps that are sharing the same custom domain, ie.

- App1 is [foo.mydomain.example.com](http://foo.mydomain.example.com)
- App2 is [blah.mydomain.example.com](http://blah.mydomain.example.com)

I have App2 embedded inside App1 using a Webview component, and it works fine.
