URL Parameters

Deep linking, embedding, and pre-configuring the user experience

The chat interface supports URL parameters for deep linking, embedding, and pre-configuring the user experience.

Layout & Display

Parameter Values Description
layout full (default), embedded Controls the display mode. embedded hides the header for seamless iframe integration.
theme dark, light Sets the color scheme. Persists for future visits.

Examples:

/?layout=embedded
/?theme=light
/?layout=embedded&theme=dark

Input & Autorun

Parameter Values Description
input Any text (URL-encoded) Pre-fills the chat input field with the specified text.
autorun true, 1 When combined with input, automatically sends the message on page load.

Examples:

/?input=Show%20my%20orders
/?input=List%20invoices&autorun=true
/?layout=embedded&input=Help%20me&autorun=1

App Full-Screen

Parameter Values Description
app App slug Renders the specified app in full-screen mode — no chat, no header, no sidebar.

The app parameter accepts the app's slug (e.g., my-inventory-app). When set, the entire UI is replaced with the app's preview filling the viewport. This can be combined with instance, enterprise, and other parameters for full ERP context.

Examples:

/?app=my-inventory-app
/?app=my-inventory-app&instance=demo&enterprise=ACME
/?app=my-inventory-app&layout=embedded

Error Handling

Scenario Behavior
Slug not found Error toast displayed, falls back to normal chat view
User not authenticated Landing page shown, parameters preserved for after login
No files / no index.html "No Preview Available" message shown full-screen

Instance Selection

Parameter Values Description
instance UIN or Base URL Selects the specified ERP.net instance connection.

The parameter accepts:

If the instance is found in the user's connections, it becomes the active connection. If not found, an error toast is displayed.

Examples:

/?instance=mycompany
/?instance=https://mycompany.my.erp.net
/?instance=demo.my.erp.net

Enterprise Context

Parameter Values Description
enterprise GUID or Name Sets the enterprise company context.
enterpriseLocation GUID or Name Sets the location within the enterprise company.

Matching Logic

The enterprise context is applied after the instance connection is established. If a match is found, the context is set and the UI updates accordingly.

Examples:

/?enterprise=My%20Company%20Ltd
/?enterprise=8F42B1C3-5D9E-4A7B-B2E1-9C3F4D5A6E7B
/?enterprise=ACME&enterpriseLocation=Warehouse%201
/?instance=demo&enterprise=Partner%20Corp

Agent Preselection

Parameter Values Description
agent System agent key, user-agent identifier, or user-agent UUID Preselects the active agent when the chat loads.

Resolution order (case-insensitive, first match wins)

  1. System agent key — e.g. erp_advisor, business_specialist, sales_executive, erp_manager, partner, app_builder, agent_builder.
  2. User-agent identifier — the short identifier defined on the user agent.
  3. User-agent UUID — the agent's id.

Names are not matched.

Availability

The agent must be available to the signed-in user:

If the value doesn't match anything the user can access, an error toast is shown and the selection falls back to ERP Advisor (erp_advisor). The same fallback applies when no agent parameter is provided.

Ignored when app=<slug> is set (full-screen app owns the UI) or when opening a specific conversation URL (/c/:id) — the conversation's own agent stays authoritative.

Examples:

/?agent=business_specialist
/?agent=app_builder
/?agent=sales_executive&instance=demo
/?agent=my-importer
/?agent=8f42b1c3-5d9e-4a7b-b2e1-9c3f4d5a6e7b
/?agent=my-importer&input=Import%20today%27s%20file&autorun=1

Combined Examples

Embedded Chat with Pre-filled Input

/?layout=embedded&input=What%20are%20my%20pending%20orders%3F

Full Setup with Autorun

/?instance=demo&enterprise=ACME&enterpriseLocation=Main%20Office&input=Show%20dashboard&autorun=true

Execution Order

Parameters are processed in the following order:

  1. Parse all parameters on component mount
  2. Instance selection executes first (waits for connections to load)
  3. Enterprise context selection executes after instance is active (waits for tokens)
  4. Agent preselection executes after instance settles and user agents load
  5. App full-screen resolves slug to app and enters full-screen mode (waits for user apps to load)
  6. Input prefill/autorun executes after context is set

Each step is protected by refs to ensure it only runs once per page load.


Error Handling

Scenario Behavior
Instance not found Error toast displayed, no instance change
Enterprise company not found Error toast displayed, context not set
Location not found Error toast displayed, context not set (even if company matched)
Agent not found or not available for the user Error toast displayed, selection falls back to ERP Advisor
App slug not found Error toast displayed, falls back to normal chat view
User not authenticated Parameters are ignored until user signs in
No active connection Enterprise context waits until instance is connected
