Action Performed:

Go to Home on Staging
Click the two-minute tour link under Discover

Expected Result:

You should be redirected to Storylane via a proxy link

Actual Result:

You are dropped directly into Storylane

If we want to change the link later then we will need to use a script to push the new link to clients

Can the user still use Expensify without this being fixed? Have you informed them of the workaround?

@MelvinBot can you find the PR where we created a proxy link for our migrated customers?

[MelvinBot]

I searched through the PRs in the App repository for proxy redirect links related to migrated customers, but I couldn't find one that specifically creates a proxy link (like expensify.com/goto/...) for Storylane redirects.

Here's what I found:

Current Implementation: The Storylane links for migrated customers are currently direct URLs in src/CONST/index.ts:1082-1089:

• ADMIN_MIGRATED: https://app.storylane.io/share/qlgnexxbsdtp
• ADMIN_MIGRATED_MOBILE: https://app.storylane.io/share/fgireksbt2oh
• EMPLOYEE_MIGRATED: https://app.storylane.io/share/v9dr1rjqsd9y
• EMPLOYEE_MIGRATED_MOBILE: https://app.storylane.io/share/qbbob6zvapqo

Related PRs that added/modified these links:

• PR #75328 - "Update the migrated modal message" (merged Nov 19, 2025) - Added the migrated-specific Storylane links
• PR #80807 - "[Home Page] Create DiscoverSection Component" (merged Jan 29, 2026) - Created the Discover section with the two-minute tour link

Based on the issue description, it seems a proxy redirect hasn't been implemented yet - the links go directly to Storylane rather than through an Expensify proxy URL. This is likely what needs to be created to fix the issue.

Would you like me to search in a different repository (like Web-Expensify or Auth) for proxy redirect functionality, or would you like more details about any of the PRs mentioned above?
