Deep Linking in Find@ allows your short links to open a specific mobile app directly instead of a website — if the app is installed. If the app is not installed, users are redirected to the app store.
How Deep Linking Works
When Deep Linking is enabled, Find@ automatically detects the user’s device and decides where to send them.
- User clicks your Find@ short link
- Find@ checks the device type (iOS or Android)
- If the app is installed, it opens the app directly
- If not installed, the user is sent to the app store
Why Use Deep Linking?
- Improves user experience on mobile
- Reduces friction between click and action
- Increases app engagement and conversions
- Eliminates unnecessary browser steps
Common Use Cases
- Open Instagram, TikTok, or other apps directly
- Send users straight into your mobile app
- App-first campaigns and promotions
- QR codes that open apps instantly
