# Dashboard Navigation

Build direct links into a site's Wix dashboard (manage.wix.com). This is the shared contract; per-business-solution recipes list the actual page routes.

## URL Structure

Every dashboard page lives under:

```
https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/{route}
```

- `{metaSiteId}` — the site's meta site ID: the `id` returned by the Query Sites API, and the `siteId` in a CLI project's `wix.config.json`.
- `{route}` — `{appSlug}/{pagePath}`. Each Wix app owns a URL namespace (its slug) and registers pages under it, e.g. `bookings/services`, `wix-stores/products`.

Useful properties of these URLs:

- **App-ID fallback.** `https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/app/{appDefinitionId}/{pagePath}` always works and redirects to the slug form. With no `pagePath` it lands on the app's main dashboard page, so knowing just the app ID is enough for a working link:

  ```
  https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/app/13d21c63-b5ec-5912-8397-c3a5ddb27a97
  → redirects to .../bookings (the Wix Bookings main page)
  ```

  To get an app's `appDefinitionId`, use [List Installed Apps](../app-installation/list-installed-apps.md) (`GET /apps-installer-service/v1/app-instances` returns each installed app's ID and name), or take it from the per-solution recipe — each leaf states its apps' IDs.
- **Graceful degradation.** Unknown deeper paths fall back to the longest matching route (`.../bookings/services/unknown` lands on the services list), so links don't 404.
- **Legacy redirects.** Older route formats (e.g. `store/orders`, `bookings/scheduler/owner/...`) redirect to the current pages; links in existing content keep working.
- **Entity deep links.** Pages that show a single entity accept the entity ID as an extra path segment (e.g. `bookings/services/form/{serviceId}`). Query params can follow.
- **Permissions.** The dashboard enforces its own login and per-page permissions; links just navigate.
- **Site vs account pages.** Most pages are site-scoped (the `/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/...` form above). Some solutions also have **account-level** pages that apply to the whole Wix account and take no metaSiteId: `https://manage.wix.com/account/{route}` — e.g. `account/websites` (My Sites), `account/domains` (My Domains). The per-solution recipes say which is which.

For a business solution not listed yet, use the app-ID fallback URL with the solution's app definition ID, or link the dashboard home: `https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/home`.

## Machine-Readable Route Data

[routes.json](https://www.wix.com/skills/manage/references/dashboard-navigation/routes.json) holds the full page inventory behind these recipes — every covered app with its `appDefinitionId`, `slug`, and per page: `path` (append to `https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/`), `title`, `inSidebar`, redirecting `legacyAliases`, and — where the page shows a single entity — `deepLink` with the ID placeholder (`bookings/services/form/{serviceId}`). Prefer the per-solution recipes for guidance (curation, entity deep links, read-API pairing); use the JSON to look up or enumerate routes programmatically:

```bash
curl -s https://www.wix.com/skills/manage/references/dashboard-navigation/routes.json
```

```bash
# All user-facing pages of an app
jq -r '.apps[] | select(.app == "Wix Bookings") | .pages[] | select(.inSidebar) | .path' routes.json

# Find the page for a concept ("invoice") across all apps
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.title | test("invoice"; "i")) | .path' routes.json

# Entity deep link: fetch the pattern, substitute the ID, prepend the base
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.deepLink) | .deepLink' routes.json | grep productId
# → wix-stores/products/product/{productId}
# → https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/wix-stores/products/product/8a12...

# Where does an old link land now?
jq -r '.apps[].pages[] | select(.legacyAliases | index("store/orders")) | .path' routes.json
```
