# Starting a Session with a URL

If you navigate to a url with a hash param or query param of `cobrowse_pin=<valid pin number>` a session will automatically start. Alternatively, if you append #startcb to a url it will automatically trigger opening the cobrowse pin entry modal.

### Example

```javascript
https://www.example.com/?cobrowse_pin=123456
https://www.example.com/#cobrowse_pin=123456

https://www.example.com/#startcb
```
