Manage Start URL Settings for a Connected App
A start URL defines the page where users are directed to when they run the connected
app. If you don’t configure a start URL, users are sent to the app’s default start page after
authentication completes. Start URL settings apply to all connected apps, except canvas apps. If
your app is a canvas app, the connected app ignores the start URL fields. Instead, it uses the
canvas app URL specified when the connected app was created.
