Deferred Deep Linking

Deferred deep linking allows a user to click on a link, install an app associated with the link, and then visit the content associated with that link in the newly installed app.

# Table of contents

# Overview

Deferred deep linking allows a user who does not have a specific app installed to:

• Click on a deep link that would normally open content in that app.
• Install the app from the App Store.
• Open the app and immediately see the content referenced by the link.

As the name implies, the deep link is deferred until the app has been installed.

After tapping a deep link in an email from an Iterable campaign, users without the associated app will be directed to the App Store to install it. If the app uses the Iterable iOS SDK and has deferred deep linking enabled, the content associated with the deep link will load on first launch.

# iOS deferred deep linking

Set IterableConfig.checkForDeferredDeeplink to true to enable deferred deep linking with the Iterable iOS SDK. This should be added to the beginning of your application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) method.

Swift

let config = IterableConfig()
config.checkForDeferredDeeplink = true

# Android deferred deep linking

In the Android SDK, call the setter method IterableApi.getInstance.setDDLChecked passing in true to enable deferred deep linking. This should be added to your Application class within the onCreate() method along with the other IterableApi initializations.

Java

IterableApi.getInstance().setDDLChecked(true);
