Introduction
The Beacon Deep Linking feature allows Android and iOS mobile devices to either download the Beacon App or to be directed to a specific section or page of the Beacon App. This allows the flexibility to link a viewer to any section of the Beacon app.
Deep Linking simplifies how to drive audiences from marketing material or 3rd party sources into Beacon App experiences to a targeted page. This feature is available for Android and Apple mobile.
Use Cases
There are two use cases:
- Deep Link (App Installed)
- Deep Linking helps promote your content.
- After clicking on a valid link in your web page, besides opening your web page, this would open the content shared in your mobile app.
- This works for Apple Universal Links and Android App Links.
- Deferred deep linking (App not Installed)
- To promote download and installs (iOS and Android Only).
- On the Beacon Web App, a banner will be displayed at the top of your web page. After clicking on it, it will redirect you to the respective App Store to download the mobile app.
