Zoom’s app examples show an API method for generating a deep link:  
POST [https://api.zoom.us/v2/zoomapp/deeplink](https://api.zoom.us/v2/zoomapp/deeplink)

Is there a documentation for this method? What kind of payload is supported?  
More specifically, can we send our state data, so that when our app starts it would receive it?

Thank you.

Perhaps I am getting it wrong, but I thought I read that when generating the deeplink, you can pass along an `action` which is then returned to your app in the zoom header.

1. [Generating deep link](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/architecture#deep-link-generation)
2. [Decrypting the returned context header](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/zoomappcontext#utilizing-the-decrypted-values)
