# SAP SuccessFactors Deep Links - Link: https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-deep-links/ - Published: 2026-08-26T08:03:21+00:00 - Author: Anipe Abraham A **deep link is a hyperlink that links directly to a specific page in the SAP SuccessFactors system, rather than the start page**. **SAP SuccessFactors Deep Links** make it easier for users to navigate directly to specific features, pages, or employee-related information without going through multiple navigation [steps](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Jlb11xrw6mXt0qshfL0SQ). Organizations can also integrate **SAP SuccessFactors Deep Links** with external third-party applications. Within SAP SuccessFactors, administrators can add deep links to the **Home Page, Employee Profile, and Main Navigation Menu**. These links help users reach frequently accessed pages and HR processes with fewer [clicks](https://youtu.be/zzBAXSpIaiU?si=bQMIqA3L2LRY5Rdz). ## **Creating an SAP SuccessFactors Deep Link** You can create an **SAP SuccessFactors Deep Link** to take users directly to a specific page or feature. ### 1. Determine the SAP SuccessFactors base URL First, identify the base URL of the SAP SuccessFactors system you [want](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/self-paced-videos-of-sap-successfactors/) to link to. The base URL includes the **hostname and domain name**. It can vary by customer or region. ### 2. Add the deep link path Add the deep link path to the base URL. Separate the base URL and path with a forward slash (`/`). **Example:** The deep link `/sf/devplan` takes users to their Development Plan. ```wp-block-code https:///sf/devplan ``` ### 3. Add URL parameters when required You can add parameters to an **SAP SuccessFactors Deep Link** when [needed](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/online-training-for-sap-successfactors/). Add a question mark (`?`) after the URL path. For example: ```wp-block-code https:///sf/devplan? ``` For links that users access **outside SAP SuccessFactors**, such as email messages or help documents, add the **company parameter**. This parameter identifies the SAP SuccessFactors system. For links inside the system, such as Home Page cards or navigation links, you may not need additional parameters. ### 4. Add the Company ID for external links Add the `company` parameter when you create a deep link for external use. Enter the appropriate **Company ID** for your SAP SuccessFactors system. When users open the link, SAP SuccessFactors directs them to the configured authentication method. This can include **SSO or password authentication**. After authentication, SAP SuccessFactors takes users to the target [page](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/lorenzo-data-solutions-reviews/). **Example:** ```wp-block-code https:///sf/devplan?company=MYCOMPANY ``` This link takes an authenticated user to their own Development Plan in the **MYCOMPANY** system. **Tip:** You can find the Company ID from the user account menu. Select your profile photo in the page header. Then select **About** or **Version Information**. ### 5. Add additional parameters You can add additional parameters to an **SAP SuccessFactors Deep Link**. Separate each parameter with an ampersand (`&`). **Example:** ```wp-block-code https:///sf/pmreview?company=MYCOMPANY&username=jsmith123 ``` This example opens the performance review form for user `jsmith123`. The user must have the required permissions to access the information. ### 6. Add hash parameters when supported Some deep links support additional information after the URL parameters. Use a hash mark (`#`) to separate this information. **Example:** ```wp-block-code https:///sf/timeForms?company=MYCOMPANY#/essScreen ``` This example opens the **Employee Self-Service Time Forms** page in the `MYCOMPANY` system. ### 7. Add the deep link to your content Copy the completed **Deep Link URL**. Then add it as a hyperlink wherever users need access to the specific page. You can use deep links in **internal documentation, training materials, company portals, Home Page cards, navigation menus, emails, and supported third-party applications**. To ensure seamless access, always verify the target permissions before sharing the link widely.
