Deep Links

Deep links allow you to redirect mobile users directly to a specific screen within a mobile app, while desktop users are sent to the regular web URL. This feature is available on Pro and Max plans.

What Are Deep Links?

A deep link is a URL that points to a specific page or content within a mobile app rather than a website. For example:

• Open a product page directly in the Amazon app
• Jump to a specific video in the YouTube app
• Navigate to a profile in the Instagram app

Setting Up Deep Links

1. Create or edit a short link.
2. Find the Deep Link option in the link settings.
3. Enable deep linking.
4. Enter the iOS URL scheme or Android intent URL for the target app.
5. The web destination URL serves as the fallback when the app is not installed.
6. Save the link.

How It Works

When a user clicks your short link:

1. Mobile users with the app installed — Redirected directly to the app screen.
2. Mobile users without the app — Redirected to the web destination URL.
3. Desktop users — Always redirected to the web destination URL.

Use Cases

• E-commerce — Send users directly to a product page in your shopping app.
• Social media — Link to profiles, posts, or content in social apps.
• Media — Open specific videos, podcasts, or articles in their respective apps.
• Food delivery — Link to a restaurant or menu item in a delivery app.
