Why It Matters

Why Standard Links Lose Users

Every broken redirect costs you a conversion. Deep links preserve context, from the first click to the final purchase.

Standard Links

Broken Journey
1
User clicks ad for 'Red Sneakers – 30% Off'
2
Browser opens → redirected to generic App Store page
3
User downloads and installs the app
4
App opens to generic home screen — context is gone
5
User searches for red sneakers manually
6
Friction kills momentum → conversion lost

↓ Context lost · Conversion missed · Budget wasted

Linkzly Deep Links

Seamless Journey
1
User clicks ad for 'Red Sneakers – 30% Off'
2
Linkzly records click + captures device context
3
User redirected to App Store and installs app
4
On first open, SDK reads stored context
5
User lands directly on Red Sneakers page, 30% off applied
6
One tap to purchase → attributed back to the ad

✓ Context preserved · Conversion captured · ROI measured

Deferred Deep Linking

How Deferred Deep Linking Works

A single click becomes a perfectly routed user experience, even when the app isn't installed yet.

01

User Clicks Your Link

Linkzly records the click in real time: device fingerprint, unique click ID, campaign parameters, and destination path, all captured before any redirect.

02

Platform Detected: Routing Decision

Linkzly checks if your app is installed. If yes: the deep link opens directly via Universal Link (iOS) or App Link (Android). If no: user is routed to the App Store or Play Store, with full context saved.

03

Install or Direct Open

New users complete the install. Existing users open the app immediately. In both cases, Linkzly has preserved the original destination, no generic home screen landing.

04

Context Delivered to the App

On first launch, the Linkzly SDK reads the stored parameters and destination. The user is routed to the exact content they were shown: product page, article, referral reward, instantly.

05

Attribution Captured & Dashboard Updated

The click-to-install match is complete. Your dashboard shows which channel, campaign, and creative drove the install, with revenue and conversion data in real time.

Link Types

Three Links for Every Use Case

Choose the right link type for your campaign, or let Linkzly auto-detect and route intelligently.

Best for: Paid ads, email to new users, social campaigns

Deferred Deep Links

Context survives the install process. Users land exactly where they should, even on first app open.

How It Works

1
User clicks your ad or marketing link
2
App is not yet installed on their device
3
Linkzly captures click, device context, and destination
4
User is sent to the App Store / Play Store
5
User installs and opens the app
6
SDK reads stored context → routes to exact content

Example

A Facebook ad promotes your winter boots sale. A new user clicks, installs the app, and opens directly to the boots category page with a 40% discount code pre-applied — not the generic home screen.

Platform Features

Everything in One Platform

Eight deep linking capabilities, zero fragmentation. All included on every plan.

Universal Links & App Links

Native iOS Universal Links and Android App Links. No browser redirects. OS-level routing for instant, reliable app opens.

Custom Parameters

Pass promo codes, user IDs, product SKUs, or any key-value data. Parameters survive install and are delivered to your SDK on first open.

Smart Fallbacks

App not installed? Route to the App Store, Play Store, or a branded web page. No dead ends, ever.

QR Code Generation

Every deep link auto-generates a trackable, customisable QR code. Perfect for offline-to-app campaigns with full attribution.

A/B Testing

Split traffic between destinations. Measure which screen or content converts better before committing your full audience.

Link Expiration

Set time-to-live on any link. Flash sale ending at midnight? The link expires and redirects to an alternative, automatically.

Password Protection

Gate links behind a password for private betas, partner previews, or internal tooling. Multiple access levels supported.

Live Link Editing

Change the destination of any live link without touching the short URL. Fix mistakes or pivot campaigns instantly, no reprinting.

Custom Parameters

Pass Any Data Through Your Links

Encode any key-value payload into a deep link. The Linkzly SDK delivers it to your app on first open, even across an app install.

Power Features for Complex Workflows

When basic routing isn't enough. Dynamic generation, smart rules, and real-time webhooks for sophisticated campaigns.

Dynamic Link Generation via API

Generate millions of personalised deep links programmatically. Unique links per user, per campaign, per product, at any scale.

POST /v1/links
{
destination: "myapp://product/{{product_id}}",
campaign: "{{campaign_id}}",
expires_at: "{{date}}"
}
// Returns: { shortUrl: "linkz.ly/abc123" }

Smart Routing Rules

Route users differently based on platform, OS version, language, location, or user segment. One link handles all the logic.

IF platform = iOS AND os_version < 15:
→ Show "Update iOS" message
ELSE IF user_segment = VIP:
→ Exclusive offers page
ELSE:
→ Standard experience

Link Bundling

Group related links into campaign bundles. Aggregate analytics across all variants, bulk-edit destinations, and compare performance at a glance.

Group all links from a campaign
Aggregate clicks and conversions
Bulk-edit destinations or parameters
Template-based link creation at scale

Webhook Notifications

Receive real-time JSON events for every link click, install, open, and conversion. Build custom pipelines, ETLs, or CRM integrations.

{
event: "link.installed",
link_id: "link_abc123",
source: "facebook",
platform: "ios"
