Sending Messages

Here’s an example of how to send one message to the ArcFM Mobile  app via a URI:

//Opens ArcFM Mobile and sets the World Imagery basemap
arcfmmobile:?basemap=World%20Imagery

The arcfmmobile prefix is typically followed by a colon (:) and a question mark (?) to delineate the query parameter list. The question mark is followed by a series of key-value pairs. Each pair is in the form key=value, and those pairs are separated by an ampersand (&). Additionally, certain characters are replaced with special codes. For example, a blank space is %20. The value (World%20Imagery in the example above) is not surrounded by quotes, and it must be URI encoded. For more information regarding encoding, refer to this URL encoding article.

If you run commands using a link, the URI must be percent-encoded. A handy way of encoding your URIs is utilizing a free encoder, such as https://www.urlencoder.io/. So, based on the technology stack you are using, ensure that you are aware of precisely how to construct and launch a URI.
