Deeplink to articles using JWT

We want to be able to link to specific articles from our internal extranet where users already are signed in.
We have a general link to the help center but we want to create more specific links to different articles. This is currently not possible using the JWT all links is just to one start page.
Maybe add an optional parameter &goto={URL} with the JWT authentication

Hi Eggshell Stoat,
Thank you for sharing this requirement.
Currently, deep linking to specific articles using JWT authentication works when the user already has an active authenticated session. In such cases, users can directly access article URLs without being redirected to the default start page.
The existing JWT flow redirects users to a predefined landing page primarily during authentication initialization. Once the session is established, article-level URLs can be accessed directly.
We understand the value of introducing an optional parameter (for example, &goto={URL}) to enable post-authentication redirection to a specific article. This is a valid enhancement request that would streamline navigation from internal systems such as an extranet.
We will analyse this capability further and prioritize it based on upvotes, overall customer demand, security considerations, and implementation feasibility as part of future improvements to the JWT authentication experience.
Thank you for the suggestion - it provides valuable input toward improving seamless cross-platform navigation.

Hi Eggshell Stoat, Thank you for your feedback; currently, we do not have a provision to add with the JWT. We will consider your request and add it to our pipeline, and we will notify you as soon as possible.
