Deep linking guides

Deeplink (deeplink.in) publishes these guides so the product name is not confused with the generic phrase “deep link.” Each one starts with a direct answer, then the steps and limits of what the product actually does.

• What is deep linking?

  A deep link is a URL that opens a specific screen in an app or on a website. Learn how routing, fallbacks, and deferred deep linking fit together.

• What is deferred deep linking?

  Deferred deep linking keeps the clicked destination through an app install so the first open still lands on that screen. How the flow works and what Deeplink records.

• What is the difference between Universal Links and Android App Links?

  Universal Links and Android App Links are the verified HTTPS deep links for iOS and Android. Compare the association files and how Deeplink serves them.

• How do I use deep links in WhatsApp or email campaigns?

  Use one Deeplink URL in WhatsApp, email, and SMS. How taps are routed, how to label the campaign with UTMs, and what this product does not add for WhatsApp.

• How do QR code deep links work?

  A QR code deep link is a Deeplink URL encoded as a QR image. The dashboard can generate that image. Scanning uses the same routing as a tap.
