# Command URIs

## Overview

Cloud Softphone allows showing contents loaded from the web (one typical example is a custom tab which shows an embedded
browser open with URL which you can specify). It is sometimes useful to pass some information from this embedded browser
back to the app. This can be achieved by command URIs described below.

These URIs can be invoked from javascript as a reaction to some events, or simple links or buttons with these URLs can
be created and the action will be performed when the user clicks on them.

The links can be functional only from within the embedded browser (this is the app scheme).
They can be functional from system browser (this is via the cloudsip or similar scheme).
They can be also functional as deep links (iOS) which prompt for app installation if app is not yet installed.

## URIs

The call URIs have the following format:

`app:command[?params]`

If the URIs needs to be functional from outside of the application, the whole app URL needs to be urlencoded and passed via
a registered scheme (like cloudsip or white-label specific scheme). It follows the following format:

`scheme:?_cmd=urlencoded_app_url`

**scheme**
The default scheme for Cloud Softphone is cloudsip.

!!! note
    For Cloud Softphone White-Label apps, you can configure any scheme you want in Cloud Softphone portal.

**command**
The encoded URL of the command including possible parameters.

**parameters**
These are command-specific and will be described below for each command.
