Provisioning links

Element mobile apps allows you to send customised links to users to automatically fill in the correct server domain and username.

This feature is available on iOS from version 25.05.2 and Android from version 25.06.0.

Using our service https://mobile.element.io/element; you can specify the homeserver with the account_provider query parameter and optionally the username with the login_hint parameter. For example:

https://mobile.element.io/element?account_provider=example.com

https://mobile.element.io/element?account_provider=example.com&login_hint=mxid:@alice:example.com

The login hint will depend on your authentication solution. It could be a Matrix ID as the above example, or just a username or an email address.

https://mobile.element.io/element?account_provider=example.com&login_hint=alice

https://mobile.element.io/element?account_provider=example.com&login_hint=alice@example.com

For Element X Pro, use https://mobile.element.io/element-pro instead.

For classic Element mobile you can specify the homeserver domain with the hs_url query parameter, for example https://mobile.element.io/?hs_url=https://example.com
