Error during link creation (URL doesn't pass security tests)

Prev Next

The error message, “URL doesn’t pass security tests,” can show up when the link that you are trying to use as a redirection URL does not match the redirection allowlist set for your app. For example, Branch can create custom allowlists where links created for your app can only redirect to *.example.com.

If you try to create a link that redirects to any other domain other than *.example.com, you will see this error message and the link will not be created.

You can update your redirection allowlist in Branch. Read our Advanced Link Configuration article to learn how.
