Many apps can be opened through links. You can create a URL that opens another app and insert it into your survey. Other apps can also accept custom parameters in their URLs, in the same way as Survey123.
To launch another app from your survey, add a note question with a label that contains the URL. For example, the following URL launches ArcGIS Field Maps and initiates record capture at the current location:
https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app?referenceContext=addFeature&itemID=3ac4145c1ac44aea86e9ed42e00fbb0d&featureSourceURL=https://services9.arcgis.com/QjGvjfQhsHAmqfjP/arcgis/rest/services/DamageAssessment_Apr2018_631d0895e7d3404bb78e8e04e92d896e/FeatureServer/1Tip:
Survey123 Mobile opens links for three apps: Survey123 Mobile, the Survey123 field app, and QuickCapture. When any of these links are launched from Survey123 Mobile (from Use a link, Scan a QR code, or from a link inside a survey or QuickCapture project), they open inside Survey123 Mobile. For more information see, Open content.
Note:
On iOS devices, URL schemes other than HTTPS must be added to an approved list of schemes in the app. The following URL schemes are approved in both Survey123 Mobile and the Survey123 field app:
- arcgis-quickcapture
- arcgis-navigator
- arcgis-mission-responder
- comgooglemaps
- foreflightmobile
- waze
- Device default apps of mailto, message, sms, and https
Additionally, the following URL schemes are approved in the Survey123 field app:
- spike-partner
- inframarkerlink
In either Survey123 Mobile or the Survey123 field app, to link to Field Maps, you must use an app link that begins with HTTPS.
