**Zoom Apps Configuration** Vue 3, Vite 2 **Description** `zoomSdk.openUrl` doesn’t support query & hash. **Error?** None, which is also a problem, as `{ message: 'success' }` is returned. **Troubleshooting Routes** `zoomSdk.openUrl` without query & hash works. **How To Reproduce** - Run `await zoomSdk.openUrl({ url: 'https://example.com' })` : it works - Run `await zoomSdk.openUrl({ url: 'https://example.com?foo=bar' })` : it doesn’t work - Run `await zoomSdk.openUrl({ url: 'https://example.com#foobar' })` : it doesn’t work ---

Just pointing out that this api takes an object with a url field, eg: ```auto await zoomSdk.openUrl({ url: "https://awesome-zoom-app.com/login" }); ``` Are you seeing an error? Or what is the behavior you’re seeing? ---

No, as mentioned. > [@JonStewart](#): > > Or what is the behavior you’re seeing? Nothing happens, except `{ message: 'success' }` being returned, as mentioned. Thanks ---

Strange! We don’t apply any filtering at all. Pls make sure the following are true: 1. There are no spaces in the url 2. The domain is added to the allow list in your marketplace build 3. . . . if these are true, pls try **url encoding** the url string ---

I also realized that whether or not `openUrl` is added to `capabilities` doesn’t change anything either. Thanks ---

Not sure we’ve never encountered this problem with urls not opening from openUrl. Can you please send over any info you can: Your OS and version, your native Safari or Chrome version, your Zoom client version, etc. Also the exact urls if you can. I can ask someone to look into this If you’d like to raise further attention, feel free to also report a bug (with all the above information) here: [https://portal.productboard.com/xrgequbmi6ebsr1x2v6dqnxu/tabs/72-bugs](https://portal.productboard.com/xrgequbmi6ebsr1x2v6dqnxu/tabs/72-bugs) ---

Those example URL don’t appear to be valid URLs. They must have a trailing slash after the domain name: > ---

Adding a trailing slash works, thanks. Although, it feels a bit rude from the SDK not to support URLs without trailing slash, as the JavaScript [`URL`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL) constructor supports it, as well as browsers in general. ---
