# My link

> A link to my.home-assistant.io that opens a page in the reader's own Home Assistant, like their integrations, or a new automation.

Source: https://contributors.home-assistant.io/glossary/my-link/

- In code: `my.home-assistant.io`
- Also: My Home Assistant, My links

Documentation and integrations use My links to take readers straight to the right place, wherever their Home Assistant runs.

A My link has the form `https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/<name>/`. Some take parameters, like `https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/config_flow_start/?domain=hue`, which starts setting up the Hue integration. Every link also has a badge image, at `https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/<name>.svg`, for a button in a README or a forum post. Some names still use a former name, like `supervisor_add_addon_repository`, which opens the dialog to add an app repository.

The [My link creator](https://my.home-assistant.io/create-link/) lists the links, and builds the link and the badge for you. Where contributors use them:

- [The `{% my %}` tag](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/writing/reference/liquid/#my-links) on home-assistant.io
- [A badge to add an app repository](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/apps/guides/repository/#make-it-one-step)
- [A link to a repository in the Marketplace](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/marketplace/guides/catalog/#the-link-to-your-repository)
- [A badge to set up a custom integration](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/marketplace/guides/integrations/#link-to-the-setup)
- [A blueprint import badge](https://contributors.home-assistant.io/marketplace/guides/blueprints/#share-it)
