How to Open Our App from a Kakao Talk Message Without Declaring a Custom URL Scheme?

[t2307532]

Hello,
Currently, our application integrates with Kakao Message to send messages via Kakao Talk. We want to implement a feature where a few specific messages will open our application instead of the in-app browser of Kakao Talk.

According to the documentation at Kakao Talk Sharing: iOS | Kakao Developers Kakao Talk Sharing: iOS, it requires setting up the scheme in the app and sending parameters to open the Android and iOS applications. However, due to some specific business requirements, we do not want to declare the scheme as instructed. For example, clicking on the link (Icon app and app name - Kakao Style) at the end of the message will open the web instead of the app. I have tried it, and if the scheme is declared, it will prioritize opening the application, so I need to remove the scheme.

Is there any other way to open our app when clicking on a message without custom URL scheme?
For example:
Click on a URL in a Kakao Talk message → Go to the in-app browser of Kakao → Open our app?

Thank you

The section labeled “Kakao Style” in the attached image is unfortunately beyond control as it functions as a source link area. The links within that area operate according to predefined rules.

@woody.ho Thank you for explain. For that reason, I had to remove the scheme in my application so that part always opens in a webview.

So do we have any solution for case click button on a message open app without custom URL scheme?

For example in image above:
Click on a Purchase button in a Kakao Talk message → Go to the in-app browser of Kakao → Open our app?
