Dynamic Link Creation Guide
This document describes the step-by-step process for creating a dynamic link.
Step 1. Link Identification
In the first step, you define how the link is identified and structured.
Link Name
- Used to distinguish and manage links within the dashboard
- Not exposed to end users
- Recommended to use a descriptive and searchable name
Custom Suffix
- Allows you to define a custom suffix for the dynamic link
- Makes links easier to recognize and share
Example
https://example.link/summer-event
Step 2. Default (PC / Web) URL
In this step, you configure the base URL for desktop and unsupported environments.
- This URL is used when the link is opened on PC or desktop browsers
- Acts as the default fallback destination
Example
https://www.example.com/event

Open Method
You can choose one of the following behaviors:
-
Open in mobile browser
- The link opens a specified URL in the iOS browser
-
Open registered application
- Select a previously registered iOS application
- The app is opened directly via deep linking
App Not Installed Behavior
For users who do not have the app installed, you can choose:
- Redirect to App Store (installation page)
- Redirect to a specific URL in the mobile browser
URL Path & Parameters
- Allows you to define a URL path or parameters

Step 5. Preview & Tracking Settings
This step controls how the link appears when shared and how it is tracked.
Link Preview
When the link is shared via messaging apps or social media, you can configure:

These settings determine how the link is visually presented to users.

Summary

This structure ensures flexibility, scalability, and precise control over link behavior across platforms.
