Combining your site address with the shoot key/access key into a link
Applies to: IOS
When notifying your customers of their shoot key electronically (email, SMS, web) it is possible to combine your site's URL with the shoot key/ access key into one link. Clicking the link will then take the customer directly to the site and pre-enter their key.
The format for the link is different in the older versions of IOS compared to the new IOS3
Old IOS 2
Consider the website https://online.acmephoto.com.au and the shoot key 4LPZALLH. Rather than send the customer two separate pieces of information (link and shoot key) the two can be combined into one link as
https://online.acmephoto.com.au/login_shoot?shoot_key=4LPZALLH
Of course it is possible to simply display the shoot key with a link to the complete URL
New IOS 3
The format has changed in the new IOS. With IOS 3 the site and key above become:
https://online.acmephoto.com.au/ordering/with?key=4LPZALLH
Note the links above are for demonstration purposes only and are not valid sites.
