We strongly advise you to create payloads that use the URL Scheme supported by your app. This will allow you to also handle NFC Tags (Android) and QR Codes (iOS) without the user have to necessarily open your app.

You can have a tag without any content attached to it and in your app you will need to handle yourself any interaction you will want to create when the tag is scanned.

Soon you are done configuring your tag you can go ahead and hit the Create Tag button:
