GenericObject.LinksModuleData
to add a link to a specific Generic passGenericObject
. - Use
GenericObject.appLinkData
to place an app link at the bottom of that particular Pass. - Use
GenericClass.appLinkData
to place an app link at the bottom of all the passes of that class.
One benefit of app linking is that it empowers your call-to-action to navigate users to your branded experiences from Google Wallet. Links with this feature appear at the bottom of the Pass.
