Please note:

To unlock this capability, you will need to have added Deferred Deep Linking to your Optimove package. If you can’t see this feature in your Optimove instance, contact your CSM to find out more.

Configuration

To use Deferred Deep Links, you need to configure three things:

The subdomain do you want to use for your Deferred Deep Links? E.g. optimove.lnk.click
The URLs for your app listing in the App Store and Play Store (if a customer does not have your app installed)
iOS and Android platform-specific settings (so that the relevant operating system will open your app)

To begin configuring your Deep Linking, navigate to the Settings area, and open Configuration, under Deferred Deep Links from the menu on the left. Screen Shot 2023-08-23 at 10.38.52.png

Click Edit Configurations to edit the configurations for all operating systems.

Subdomain

Enter the subdomain (of the lnk.click domain) that you want to use for your Deferred Deep Links. This must match the domain you set in the Associated Domains capability in your Xcode project.

Platform Settings

Android

To use Deferred Deep Links with your Android app, toggle the switch next to Play Store Config to on. Enter the URL to your app in the Play Store, the Package for your app, and the colon-separated, SHA256 signing certificate fingerprint(s).

Please note:

If you are publishing to Google Play and app signing by Google Play is enabled, you need to add two SHA256 fingerprints: one obtained from signing APK locally and one obtained from the Google Play console. Fingerprints are necessary for deep linking into your app without showing a disambiguation dialog.

Huawei

To use Deferred Deep Links with your Android app distributed via the Huawei App Gallery for HCM devices sign into your AG Connect account and select My Projects, then select the Project containing the app you want to link to.

In the left menu under "Grow" select the "App Linking" feature, click "Enable now" in the top panel, then once the screen refreshes, select the "URL prefixes" tab. This will allow you to select the subdomain prefix to be used to identify your app, click "New URL prefix" and enter the subdomain you would like in the form. It is recommended that you match the subdomain used for Optimove iOS / Android deep links with the AG connect subdomain, if available. Once you have verified the link you will have an app gallery link of the format [subdomain].dre.agconnect.link.

Return to the Optimove Settings and toggle the switch next to App Gallery Config to on. Enter the App Gallery URL prefix along with the URL to your app in the App Gallery.

When you have configured all relevant apps, click "Configure" to confirm.

SDK Integration

You will need to ensure that you have the OptiMobile SDK integrated with your app to enable Deferred Deep Linking. You will also need to check that this is part of your Optimove package. If you are unsure, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
