Add links to your Boarding pass

There are four ways to add links to a Boarding Pass.

  • Use FlightClass.LinksModuleData to add links to all Boarding Passes that are associated with the FlightClass.
  • Use FlightObject.LinksModuleData to add a link to a specific Boarding Pass FlightObject.
  • Use FlightObject.appLinkData to place an app link at the bottom of that particular Pass.
  • Use FlightClass.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.

Issuer Name Applink Data Example
Issuer

For a given Boarding Pass, set the field FlightObject.appLinkData to the URI or Package name of your app or website.

See the format and context of the appLinkData field in the following source code: The displayText field is limited to 30 characters.

  {
    "id": string,
    "classId": string,
    …
    …
    …
    "appLinkData": {
      "androidAppLinkInfo": {
        "appTarget": {
          "packageName": "com.google.android.gm",
        }
      },
      "webAppLinkInfo": {
        "appTarget": {
           "targetUri": {
              "uri": "https://mail.google.com/mail/",
              "description": "Web link for Gmail"
           }
        }
      }
      "displayText": {
        "defaultValue": {
           "value": "Our awesome app!"
        }
      }
    }
  }
For posterity the following implementation will also work.
{
  "id": string,
  "classId": string,
  …
  …
  …
  "appLinkData": {
    "androidAppLinkInfo": {
      "appTarget": {
        "targetUri": {
          "uri": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gm",
            "description": "Play store link for Gmail app"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
