Install PWA

Prompt the user to install your app as a PWA (Add to Home Screen) when their device supports it.

This is useful when you want your app to feel more like a native app, with an icon on the home screen.

Add the action

1. In Interface, open a workflow.
2. Click + Add an action.
3. Go to PWA.
4. Select Install PWA.

How it works

When you run Install PWA, the browser may show an install prompt (for example “Add to Home Screen”).

If the browser doesn’t support showing an install prompt, nothing will happen.

iOS limitation

On iOS, installing a PWA usually requires manual steps in Safari:

1. Tap the share icon.
2. Select Add to Home Screen.

Common pitfalls

The install prompt doesn’t appear

This can happen if:

• The device/browser doesn’t support the install prompt.
• The user already installed the PWA.
• The app isn’t eligible for installation (for example, missing PWA setup).
