Session continuation lets Junction recover an App Embed session when no compatible session exists, such as after prolonged inactivity or when using Fast Launch. Your session continuation URL must be a publicly accessible endpoint controlled by your application. Junction redirects the user’s browser to this endpoint with launch parameters. Your application validates the current signed-in user, creates a Junction dashboard URL, and returns a 307 Temporary Redirect to that URL.

​
Requirements

Your endpoint must:
  • validate that the browser has a valid session with your application;
  • verify that the requested integration member and team match the signed-in user and account context;
  • validate the requested modality, feature, and environment before forwarding them to Junction;
  • create a dashboard URL through the Junction Management API; and
  • respond with a 307 Temporary Redirect to the returned post-authorization URL.
Do not blindly forward query parameters into the Management API. Treat session continuation requests as untrusted input and authorize them against your application’s current session.

        "environment": environment,
    }

    if integration_team_id is not None:
        payload["integration_team_id"] = integration_team_id
    elif team_id is not None:
        payload["team_id"] = team_id

    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        response = await client.post(
            f"https://api.management.junction.com/v1/org/{org_id}/ehr_integration/create_dashboard_url",
            headers={"X-Management-Key": management_key},
            json=payload,
        )
        response.raise_for_status()
        dashboard_url = CreateDashboardURLResponse.model_validate_json(response.text)

    return RedirectResponse(str(dashboard_url.url), status_code=307)

​
Redirect status

Use 307 Temporary Redirect so the browser follows the continuation result without treating it as a permanent redirect. This keeps future session recovery requests pointed at your session continuation URL.
