Support for postInstallPage like in the connect app

[ryang_sei]

In the old connect apps, it is nice to have a Get Started link in the popup after installing the app. The user can click the Get Started link and go to the configuration page of the app to start the setting up process, eg. google drive.

I know we have postInstall lifecycle event, https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/events-reference/life-cycle/.

But I felt that was mainly to execute some backend logic.

How do I trigger a redirect to the app setting page after install, or at least show a popup containing the link for the user?

Thanks

I don’t know if there’s a way to trigger a redirect, but you can at least show a getting started link after install by using the useAsGetStarted attribute in your manifest.yml:
