Launching Ring App

Good Evening,

I have built an automation so that when someone presses my ring doorbell a notification goes to my device with an image from my CCTV camera (not he ring camera) and two action buttons. One of which I would like to launch the ring app but for some reason I can just not figure out how to construct the URI to get the app to open.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Max

So you should be using app://com.ringapp

you get the package name from the play store or app info screen on device, i find play store URL to be the easiest

app://com.ringapp does not work.

I cannot see anything about package name from the play store.

In App info screen there is an “Open by default” section that has 5 URLS:

videorequests.nw.qa.ring.com
videoreqeusts.nw.dev.ring.com

videorequests.nw.ring.com

But these don’t work either

Share the yaml you used please it’s probably incorrect because the link will take you to the play store if the app is not installed on the device

Thank you for your help. Trying again today it appears to work. Before I was getting a blank screen with a HTTP error at the top but working perfectly today with app://com.ringapp
