General Concepts
What are Dynamic Links?
Dynamic links are smart URLs that:
- Work on both web and mobile
- Open your app if installed, or redirect to web/store if not
- Track clicks and installs with full attribution
- Support deferred deep linking (users reach intended content after install)
How It Works
- Create a Link - Generate a dynamic link with a target URL
- Share the Link - Users click the link from anywhere (email, SMS, social media)
- Smart Routing - Redirectly detects if app is installed and routes accordingly
- Track Everything - All clicks, installs, and conversions are tracked
Basic Flow
User clicks link → Redirectly checks app install status →
├─ App installed → Open app with deep link
└─ App not installed → Redirect to store → After install → Open app with deferred deep linkNext Steps
