This article explains how to retrieve a fixed URL for a specific application using the App Launcher or app menu. It covers steps for Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic to share links with users.
Scenario:
A Salesforce Admin needs to share direct access to a specific app with users. To do this, the admin opens the App Launcher (in Lightning) or the app menu (in Classic), searches for the application, right-clicks on its name, and copies the link address using the browser option. After verifying the URL works, the admin shares it with users so they can access the application directly.
You can retrieve the URL to directly access a specific application by copying the link address using your browser's function.
Open the App Launcher (nine dots) in the top left corner.
Enter the name of the application for which you want to retrieve the URL in the search box.
Right-click the application name displayed in the search results.
Click Copy link address (for Google Chrome) from the displayed browser menu.
Paste the copied URL into the browser's address bar to verify access to the target application.
Click the app menu (e.g., Sales) in the top right corner.
Right-click the name of the application for which you want to retrieve the URL from the list.
Click Copy link address (for Google Chrome) from the displayed browser menu.
Paste the copied URL into the browser's address bar to verify access to the target application.
By sharing the retrieved URL with other Salesforce users, recipients can access the target application directly via the link.
