I'm in marketing and hoping someone here can provide some guidance. I have been searching for a solution that will allow potential customers to click on a link present in an advertisement and have the link open our Facebook Group in their FB app. Today, the mobile web browser takes over.
I've been researching this for some time and recently found Branch.IO. I'm just not sure the best approach to take to accomplish my goal. Most of the examples I've seen are to launch a companies mobile app with deep linking to a product. I suppose this is similar but the app is Facebook and the deep link is to our group.
If someone would be willing to assist I would be very appreciative. Thank you!
For Facebook app to be opened consistently, you would need to integrate Branch SDK into the app. Since you do not have access to Facebook's code base - you will not be able to do this.
The setup is still possible with Branch, but you would have to rely on the URI schemes provided here: What are all the custom URL schemes supported by the Facebook iPhone app?
You may utilize Branch's integration guide for best integration results.
However, you may be better off using a simple link shortener of some sort to direct users to your Facebook group on web.

This is an odd question. I couldn't find any resource relating to developing a react app and integrating it into the online store(not the merchant page).
https://shopify.dev/apps/getting-started/create, this link only discusses developing an app and integrating it into the Shopify merchant page, not on the online store.
I have gone through the documentation on the above link but could not find anything relevant.
Also, check this link https://shopify.dev/apps/online-store, but creating theme extensions is not what I want as I want to develop a full-fledged application like https://apps.shopify.com/tolstoy
Can you guys point me to the right resource?
thanks
Shopify is HTML, CSS and Javascript. There is nothing stopping you from making the merchant end of things ANYTHING you want. Get yourslf a Storefront API token and you're good to go.
As for a lack of resources? HTML, CSS and Javascript are 90% of your journey covered by a bazillion resources including StackOverflow. Shopify documents Storefront API fine too. What more could you ask for?
my dev and I would like to implement the google picker on our website. It will allow the web-visitor to upload their files from their Google drive to our website.
My dev is now trying to get the API for the google picker however they are asking for a "demo video that showcases the process to request an OAuth token" and we were wondering how we should do it when we don't have the API from google.
We are doing all of this on the staging site and we were wondering how are we suppose to do this demo video when the API is not provided and not installed.
please enlighten us, thank you!
See the question How can I make sure the verification process is as streamlined as possible? in the FAQ. It explains what the verification team is looking for with the video. Mostly it's just about showing how your product uses OAuth and the various APIs -- in your case how it asks for access to Drive, how the picker is used, etc. You're showing the integration from the user perspective.
Linking.openURL(`whatsapp://send?phone=${phoneNumber}`)
Take one example, the above is the code to navigate user from our app directly to contact window on WhatsApp.
And now I'm wondering how to navigate user to my company page on facebook page?
Linking.canOpenURL('fb://profile/mycompanypage')
The above not working of course. And other than that, usually how do we know what is the url for us to navigate to the apps?
For example particular Youtube Channel or Vimeo Channel or Twitter profile?
For Facebook you can use these scheme
for Android fb://facewebmodal/f?href=${url} (url is the fb classical url you use in browser)
for IOS fb://page/PAGEID fb://profile/PAGEID you can find the PAGEID of your company page here https://findmyfbid.com/
The IOS solution is great when you don't have to generate the url on the fly which works for you i think. In a different case you'll have to use the FB SDK.
As for your other question: i generally go to the ressources website of the said app to find the right scheme for linking. But maybe there is a place where all those informations can be found ...
EDIT: IOS scheme was wrong
I am working with electron and various websites such as trello and inbox. I would like to add native notifications (which functionally i have working) however i need to know what the correct approach is to watch the site for notifications.
Do I ask the user to authenticate twice (once to login and again for the api if the site has one) or do i need to find something in the window object to watch?
Plenty of electron apps seem to be able to do this but i've had no luck hunting through github repos.
Any help or direction would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
The second one looks like the only thing it does is to allow you to access the mobile version through desktop browser, so my guess is that is "faking" the the User Agent of a mobile browser to cheat Google+.
The first one, if it just imports the photos from Facebook and adds them to Google+ it may be using the Picasa api, since it's where Google+ stores the pictures.
Even if you cannot access Google+ api just yet you can use the other Google ones to "influence" what you get in Google+. Just be creative :)
The API has now been announced at: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/09/getting-started-on-google-api.html and the official homepage is: http://developers.google.com/+/
