I’m trying to get my .htaccess to redirect links to open our app. For example, I want example.com/invite/invitecode to go to app_name://invitecode
While the following validates in a htaccess tester, it doesn’t seem to work in production. Any suggestions?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^invite/(.*)$/? quill://$1/ [L,R=301]

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
According to this stackoverflow post, you can use RedirectMatch to do that:
RedirectMatch ^invite/(.*)/?$ quill://$1/
Also, the $ should be at the end of the RegEx pattern.
