Android - Launch "Facebook Work Chat" Application from other application

Question

I would like to open the “Workplace Chat by Facebook” application ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.workchat ) via URL like the Facebook app does.

For example: When I try to open "fb://page/" inside my custom application, it will launch the Facebook app from my device (if installed).

So I would like to know the URL of the Workplace Chat application.

If you want to run another application (like Workplace), you can use it's package name and launch it if it exists like below.

Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.facebook.workchat");
if (launchIntent != null) { 
    startActivity(launchIntent);
}
