When you hit a secured page from a shared link and haven’t logged in, the login process should return you to the original link you entered. Right now, you have the option of a default message, custom message, or redirect.
If you use a message and your template has a login option, you login and get directed to the home page of the site.
If you redirect to the login, you are similarly then directed to the home page.
I would expect to be able to share links to specific pages of my site, and if they require authentication, that process could happen as a side-band activity and then return you to the intended page.
Is this currently possible, or a viable new feature?
This is definitely something I"m sure everyone in this community would appreciate.
We will certainly investigate this further. I will aim to post here an update about this request in the coming 3-4 days.
Hi Moe, I’ve just found another valuable use case for this feature so came to see if there is a follow-up. Have you had a chance to progress development of this feature? Cheers, Barnaby
Hi @moe this feature request just came up again in discussions so thought I’d follow up on this chat to learn if there was any progress/plan to implement it? Cheers, Barnaby
Still looking for this feature to be added @moe …?
I am also curious if this is something that has been solved. Our team has tried to send links to clients in emails to specific pages and we are often met with “it just took me to the home page.” Would really appreciate some way to implement the above feature.
Hi! is there any update related to this feature? would be happy to use it on my Apps

As I understand your point correctly, if your client is also a user (i.e., saved in the user table), then you can definitely use the magic link. It helps generate a link that, when clicked by the user, automatically logs them in and redirects them to the desired page.
yes, for ‘normal’ login this works. But if a user is an “Admin” (Role in User Datatable) and I want to give this Admin-User (which is me) acces to the Admin section of the App, with the use of a separate adminlogin page which directs to the Admin section of the Web App, then the magic link doesn’t work.
I mentioned it with support., but at this moment I cannot acces my Admin section of my app.
