Somnus supports deep links — special URLs that open the app directly to a specific Case, Patient, or view. Tap a link and you're there instantly, no navigating required.

For power users, deep links unlock a range of automation possibilities. The supported links are:

• somnus://case/<​UUID> — Open a specific case

• somnus://case​/new — Create a new case

• somnus://patient/<​UUID> — Open a patient record

• somnus://dashboard​/day/<timestamp> — Open your dashboard to a specific date

• somnus://settings​/backup — Jump to backup settings

These links are encoded into QR codes you’ll see on Case Reports (PDF) & Theatre List (PDF) reports. As well as the URL when you select Copy Link from a Case or Patient, the QR code is created for you too.

Scan it to jump straight to a Case or Patient — useful for printed theatre lists, patient labels, or handover sheets.

You can also use deep links as inputs to the "Get Case Info" and "Get Patient Info" Siri Shortcuts intents, letting you build automations that scan a QR code, extract the link, and pull case or patient details without ever opening the app.

Combine them with other Shortcuts actions to create powerful workflows — like scanning a patient QR code to retrieve their details and pre-fill a message to a colleague or the patient.
