How can I open an external browser from a link in a zoom app.  
Our app has links to external resources and clicking those links doesn’t do anything.

Use `zoomSdk.openUrl`([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/js-sdk/reference/#openUrl](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/zoom-apps/js-sdk/reference/#openUrl)) and list external links domain in marketplace app configuration.

Ah amazing, thanks! I didn’t realize this existed.

Wondering about the whitelisting. The url that I need to send users to isn’t a set url. It’s something like `https://website.com/resource_id`, where the `resource_id` will be unique to that user.

Will the whitelisting work with just the base domain?

Yes, adding base domain `website.com` to Domain Allow List in the marketplace will work.

Hey @RostislavR , openUrl will be used to open link from zoom app. Now I want to open zoom app from other link in browser. How can we do that?
