# Deferred Deep Linking

> Configure deferred deep links in campaigns to direct users to specific content after app installation

Direct users to specific screens after they install your app from a campaign link. Works on Android & iOS.

## Quick Example

**Campaign Setup:** Enable deferred deep linking, set URL to `get.yourdomain.com/product/123`

**What Happens:**

1. User clicks campaign link (no app installed)
2. Redirects to App Store/Google Play
3. User installs and opens app
4. App calls `getAttributionData()`, receives deep link
5. Navigate user to product page

## Setup

### 1. Create Campaign with Deep Link

In the [Linkrunner Dashboard](https://dashboard.linkrunner.io/dashboard?m=create-campaign):

1. Click **"Create Campaign"**
2. Enable **"Deferred Deep Linking"** toggle
3. Enter deep link URL: `get.yourdomain.com/product/123`

**URL Format:**

```
get.yourdomain.com/product/sneakers-123
get.yourdomain.com/promo/SAVE20
get.yourdomain.com/onboarding?type=premium
```

### 2. Handle in Your App

Call `getAttributionData()` when you need attribution data, check for the `deeplink` field, parse the URL, and navigate:

## Common Use Cases

**Product Links:** `get.yourdomain.com/product/sneakers-123` → Opens product page

**Promo Codes:** `get.yourdomain.com/promo/SAVE20` → Opens promo with code applied

**Onboarding:** `get.yourdomain.com/onboarding?trial=30days` → Custom onboarding flow

**Referral Tracking:** `get.yourdomain.com/product/123?referrer=jane` → Deep link + attribution ([learn more](/feature/referral-codes))

## Testing

1. Create test campaign with deferred deep linking enabled
2. Uninstall app completely
3. Click campaign link on mobile device
4. Install and verify you land on the correct screen

<Warning>Always test on real devices before launching campaigns.</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

**No deep link returned?** Check that deferred deep linking is enabled in campaign settings and URL is formatted correctly.

**Navigation fails?** Add logging to your URL parsing logic, verify route names match your app's navigation structure, and test with simple paths first.

**Attribution data is null?** Ensure the app was installed via the campaign link (not directly from store) and `getAttributionData()` is called after SDK initialization.
