[Feature Request] Add sharable links for invites #1133

Open Darin755 opened 1 year ago

The Issue

Currently it is really hard to invite people to session. The session id is good for privacy but is bad when sharing contact info. In order to message someone on session you currently need to download the app and then type in the id. This is really burdensome and it hurts sessions adoption.

the solution

I would be really nice to have a link that includes the session id of the person who created the link. When a user clicks on the link they should be taken to the app store. When they download the app they should automatically be redirected to Session and a new contact should be created with the id of the person who shared the link.

This will be tackled as part of our deeplinking project later this year
