Features
Redirectly provides a comprehensive set of features for creating, managing, and tracking dynamic links across web and mobile platforms.
Core Features
π Dynamic Links
Create smart links that work seamlessly across platforms:
- Universal Links - Links that work on both web and mobile
- Deep Linking - Direct users to specific content within your app
- Deferred Deep Linking - Users reach intended content even after installing your app
- Fallback URLs - Graceful fallbacks when app isnβt installed
- Custom Domains - Branded links with your own subdomain (e.g.,
yourapp.redirectly.app)
Example Use Cases:
- Share product pages that open directly in your app
- Campaign links that track installs and conversions
- Referral links with attribution
- Social media links that deep link into your app
π App Install Attribution
Track which campaigns and links drive app installs:
- Attribution Matching - Automatically match installs to prior link clicks
- Organic vs Attributed - Distinguish between organic and campaign-driven installs
- Campaign Tracking - Know exactly which links drive installs
- Time-based Attribution - Track when users clicked links before installing
- Deferred Deep Linking - Users reach intended content after install
How It Works:
- User clicks a Redirectly link
- Link click is tracked with device fingerprint
- User installs app (immediately or later)
- On first launch, SDK matches install to prior click
- App receives attribution data and can deep link to original target
π Analytics & Insights
Comprehensive analytics for all your links:
- Click Tracking - Real-time click counts and trends
- Device Analytics - OS, device type, and version breakdown
- Geographic Data - Country, region, and city-level insights

- Referrer Analysis - See where your traffic comes from
- Time-based Analytics - Hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly trends
- Conversion Tracking - Track installs, opens, and custom events
