I wouldn't characterize this as deeplinking, but to confirm - a guest user should have the capabilities to load a custom view from Server. When your named users saves off a custom view, updates will be made to the URL and embed links to reflect the saved view ID. If this updated embed link is then used for the social media post, this should carry the named user's selection to their embed version as well. Essentially, custom views can be accessed using Guest user without issue; that being said, Guest users cannot generate and save off new custom views.

Yep - and as Amber points out, your named users will need to ensure that their custom views are configured to be "public" so that other accounts can actually access that custom view ID.

Martin Borugadda Jan 18, 2018 3:51 PM (in response to Wilson Po)Hi Wilson,
I understand that only registered users with proper access to worksheets, can create and save custom views. I am using Tableau Javascript API to embed Tableau views in my website. If I need to develop a feature, where a guest user (user without login credentials to Tableau) should be able to select filters, parameters, marks and tabs in the dashboard, and then share the dashboard with other people (with those selections intact), what is the best way to do it?
As Dan said, I can pass those filters and values(and parameters, marks and tabs values) as URL parameters to the View's URL and share the updated Tableau View URL to be embedded in my web application. But in some cases there can be too many values that needs to be appended to the URL, and I also doubt whether every 'filter, parameter, marks and tab selection' can always be successfully passed as URL parameters.
Is there any other way we can achieve this functionality, where we can have a Tableau View sharable with guest user's 'filter, parameter, marks and tab selection'?
