urx.si/product/deep-linking
Link to a screen, not a home page.
When your app is installed, URX opens the exact screen you linked to. When it isn't, visitors go to the right store or your website — never an error page.
App installed
opens acme://shoes/123
Not installed
Visitors without the app never hit an error page.

Three kinds of link, clearly labelled
Here's exactly what's available today and what's coming.
Smart redirect
AvailableSends each visitor to the right store or website for their platform. No app changes needed.
Every plan
Direct deep link
AvailableOpens a specific screen when the app is installed, using your app's URI scheme — and falls back to the store when it isn't.
Pro and up · Universal Links and App Links on custom domains soon
Deferred deep link
RoadmapCarries the destination through a fresh install, so the first launch opens the right screen. Requires an SDK.
Planned
urx.si/setup
How direct deep links work
You tell URX your app's URI scheme and how link paths map to screens. Everything after your slug is passed through.
urx.si/acme/shoes/123
│
├─ app installed → acme://shoes/123
├─ iPhone, no app → App Store
├─ Android, no app → Google Play
└─ everyone else → https://acme.com/shoes/123- 1
Add your URI scheme
For example acme:// — the same scheme your app already registers.

Choose a path pattern
Map urx.si/acme/* to acme://* and https://acme.com/* so one link covers every screen.
- 3
Set store fallbacks
Your App Store and Google Play listings catch visitors who don't have the app yet.
urx.si/fallbacks
Designed for the messy cases
In-app browsers
Instagram, TikTok and others open links inside their own browser. URX detects them and chooses the most reliable path out.
No dead ends
If the app can't be opened, visitors land on the store or your website — never a blank page.
Universal Links and App LinksSoon
Open the app with no browser hop, on custom domains verified against your app.
urx.si/faq
Deep linking questions
What's the difference between a smart redirect and a deep link?
A smart redirect picks the right store or website for the visitor's platform. A deep link goes one step further and opens a specific screen inside your installed app.
Do I need to change my app?
For smart redirects, no. For direct deep links your app needs a URI scheme (like acme://) that can open screens from a path — most apps already have one.
What about Universal Links and App Links?
They open your app without a browser hop, but require the link domain to be associated with your app. We're adding them for custom domains, where your domain can be verified against your app.
What is deferred deep linking?
Remembering where someone was headed while they install your app, so the first launch opens that screen. It needs a small SDK in the app and is on our roadmap.
