API Links come to Guided Tours

The ability to provide API links in SAP Companion content was announced in 2021, but didn't work for Guided Tours (only Help Topics). That has now been remedied. This video shows how to create these links, by way of a simple example.
Concepts covered: Guided Tours; the Bubble Editor; Macro IDs; Links; the Web Editor; Branching

Thanks for the update Dirk.

NP. I never saw an announcement for this, although I checked for it periodically. Just happened to try it for a client yesterday.

Hi Dirk - I managed to deeplink from outside S/4HANA to a guided tour by adding the help-tour= paramater to the URL, but I can't fathom how to deeplink to a Help tile (not sure it's possible).

Hey, Andrew. No, I don't think it is possible to do it the way you want. The tour parameter is an actual parameter so that will work. The only way to launch a specific help tile is to use an API call, but that really uses a JavaScript call and I don't think you can code that into a URL parameter - likely it would be stripped out as potentially malicious. That said, you can force the opening of the Carousel and set a specific tile to display as an announcement, but then it would always do it, and not just when someone used the deeplink.
