Introduction

Pugpig Bolt provides the ability to pass items on the query string to your site to help improve these experience. 

Trusted Domains

In order not to pass sensitive information to the wrong place, we will configure this on our side to only send the information to trusted domains. In most cases, this will be domain of your web site, but we can include others if desired.

When Information is passed

The information will be added to the query string in the following cases:

• Any external links out from the app content
• Any embedded URLs in the settings pages
• Any embedded URLs in the tab bar

Standard Values

We provide a default set of values on the query string. These are described below. However, if you wish us to send custom values, get in touch with our support team. Note that these values are sent on ALL links - we cannot provide different values on different URLs.

User Token

We usually send the user token as the token parameter - for example http://www.acme.com/?token=123412345

The token is the same token we receive from the login flow. 

User Information

We can send any other information we receive from the user if needed (for example, the company they are from)

Indication that we are from the app

It is often useful for your site to know that that link or embed is coming from the app. For this, we pass a parameter by default called from_app - for example http://www.acme.com/?token=123412345&from_app=1

Many of our clients will use this parameter to hide any header, footer or navigation and only show the content from the web site when embedded in the app.
