Start a Viber chat when users click a link

Question

I am trying to find a way to start a viber chat when a user clicks on a link like <a href="...">Start a viber chat with us</a> but I had no luck so far finding the correct URI to do this. I know for example that I can use skype://username?call or skype://username?chat to initiate a call or chat with Skype. How can I do the same thing with Viber?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately it's impossible. Same question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30541805/app-call-app-viber-via-url-cheme-on-ios — Nikita Leshchev, Apr 04 '16 at 16:15

Now, there is a solution to it. You can use the viber://chat?number=1234567894 pattern.
