Deep Link Features
Create seamless journeys from social media directly to app content.
Deferred Deep Linking
The magic link. If the user doesn't have the app, we send them to the store, then open the specific content immediately after install.
- Survive the install
- Contextual onboarding
- Higher retention
Standard Schemes
Support for custom URI schemes (myapp://) and Universal Links.
- iOS Universal Links
- Android App Links
- Custom Schemes
Context Passing
Pass data through the install process to personalize the first open.
- Referral codes
- Campaign IDs
- User attribution
Instant Redirection
No coding required. We handle the technical complexity of URI schemes.
- Fast redirection
- Standard compliance
- Universal Link support
Raw Data Export
Export deep link data for your own internal attribution models.
- Click-level data
- Path analysis
- Conversion matching
App Store Fallback
If the app isn't installed, we smoothly guide users to the App Store.
- Smart fallback
- Store detection
- Seamless journey
The Mobile Context Gap
App installs disconnect the user journey. A user clicks 'Buy Shoes', installs the app, and lands on the homepage. They feel lost and leave.
High Drop-off Rate
Every extra tap required to find content after install reduces conversion by 50%.
Engineering Overhead
Maintaining Universal Links (iOS) and App Links (Android) configuration files is tedious and error-prone.
No Context
You don't know *why* a user installed the app, so you can't personalize their onboarding experience.
Broken Email Links
Clicking a password reset link in an email often opens the browser instead of the app, breaking the flow.
The Deep Link Flow
How we preserve context across the app store wall.
User Clicks
User clicks a promo link for 'Red Shoes' on social media.
We Check
Has App? Open 'Red Shoes' page. No App? Refund to Store.
They Install
User opens app. We tell the app: 'Display Red Shoes'.
Why Deep Linking Matters
Deep linking is critical for modern app user experience and marketing efficiency.
Better User Experience
Users expect to see what they clicked on. Dropping them on a generic home screen causes friction.
Higher Retention
Contextual onboarding (showing the content they came for) increases day-1 retention by 2x.
Re-Engagement
Use deep links in push notifications and emails to bring dormant users back to specific hot content.
Web-to-App Banners
Convert your mobile web traffic to app users seamlessly with smart banners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an SDK?
For deferred deep linking, yes. Our lightweight open-source SDK allows your app to receive the deep link data on first launch.
Does this work on iOS 17?
Yes, we are fully compatible with the latest iOS Universal Links and Android App Links standards.
What if the user already has the app?
If the app is installed, the link will open the app immediately (direct deep linking) without visiting the browser.
Can I test deep links locally?
Yes, our dashboard provides a diagnostic tool to test URI schemes and Universal Link configuration before going live.
