Support Request: Run WhatsApp windows client on link/button press

Description

Is there a way I can launch WhatsApp windows application via custom button click or event better by clicking a link on a webpage that starts with call:// ... ?

Whenever I click the link on a page that would normally open WhatsApp, I get notified that WhatsApp is not installed. When the SiteKiosk is turned off, the link works as expected. How do I turn off this restriction?

Thanks

Hello,

The SiteKiosk Online for Windows Client can use handlers if the protocol is allowed. But the "call" protocol is not allowed by default.

To allow the "call" protocol in SiteKiosk Online go to >Settings>Advanced in your project.
Press the button "Add setting".
Enter 
webFilter.schemeFilter.schemes
in the path field.
Then scroll all the way down at "Value" and add the following before the last square bracket ]: 

     ,
    {
        "block": false,
        }, "scheme": "call"
    }


Example: 

,
    {
        "block": false,
        "scheme": "uuid-in-package"
    },
    {
        "block": false,
        }, "scheme": "call"
    }
]

Now save and republish project.
With this you have allowed the "call" protocol.

Regards,
Michael Olbrich
