URL Parameters

URL parameters let you pass information through a link to control your application: open the right screen, personalize content, pre-fill a form, or activate a language. No code, no extra server needed.

A parameter is a key=value pair added after ?. Multiple parameters are separated by &. When the link is opened, PandaSuite makes them immediately available in your project via data binding.

URL parameters work on sharing links, published web apps and PWAs, self-hosted web package exports, and iOS/Android apps with a custom domain.

Step 1: Declare the parameter

  1. In PandaSuite Studio, click Project in the breadcrumb.
  2. In the Properties panel, click + Add in the URL Parameters section.
  3. Name it exactly as it will appear in the URL (e.g. lang, session_name).
  4. Set a default value if you want a fallback when the parameter is absent.
Case-sensitive

The name must exactly match the key in the URL: lang ≠ Lang

Step 2: Use the value in your project

Anywhere in the project, open the data binding panel and follow the path:

Project → Context → Launch → Parameter(s) → your_parameter

You can bind this value to any field: text content, the target screen of an action, a condition, and so on.

Use cases

The most common use case: open the app directly on a given screen.

  1. Declare a wid parameter.
  2. Add a Project Launch trigger at the project level.
  3. Add a Change Screen action and bind the Screen field to Parameter(s) → wid.
  4. Copy the ID of the target screen from the screen’s context menu.
  5. Build your URL:
https://app.pandasuite.com/abc123?wid=c6bd920408125e82000712

Display personalized content

Bind the Content of a text block to the session_name parameter:

https://viewer.pandasuite.com/xyz?session_name=Welcome+Sophie

The text immediately displays “Welcome Sophie” when the link is opened.

Activate the right language

  1. Declare a lang parameter.
  2. Add a Condition component at the Project level.
  3. Create a rule: if lang == "en" → Change Language action → English.

Pre-fill a form

Bind your form fields to parameters like email, firstname, etc. Useful for email campaigns where recipients arrive with their details already filled in.

Track a marketing campaign (UTM)

Declare utm_source, utm_campaign, etc. and store them in variables or the Datastore for later use.

Best practices

  • Use a URL encoder for values containing spaces or special characters.
  • Never transmit sensitive data (passwords, tokens) in plain text in the URL.
  • Document your parameters for your marketing teams and external partners.
