Is there anyway to push a link (i.e. google.com) to users home screens?

Not really. BES doesn't have that functionality.
As a workaround, you could develop an app that does what you want and then push that app to the handhelds via software configuration.
Of course, this would require a developer with the knowledge of how to achieve such a solution.

I have a few applications on the BB that were pushed to the phone from the BES. there may be a method being used similar to doing a push upgrade. Not doubting Penguin3107 accuracy but it seems something may be available. One of my apps pushed is a direct internal web page site. Unless there is some form of restriction for external links i'm unaware of you might be able to figure out how to add google or other sites.


Some info that may lead you in the direction.

Not sure how helpful this is...as it depends on your messaging platform. We're a Lotus Notes/Domino shop, and we've been using an app called Showtime to push apps/icons to our users' devices. Most of what we push are custom contacts databases (i.e. Company Directory, contact lists for certain groups), but I'd imagine it would push whatever needed to be pushed, even just a browser bookmark. Works like a charm, and is configured & used directly from the Notes Client.

It's not the newest thing in the world, but it still works (we're on Notes/Domino 8.5.3 & BES 5.0.3)

elesnoy, if this doesn't help you, perhaps it will help someone else

Unfortunately, I'm using exchange. Thanks though.
