They need to install and download the app first, but when that happens, the install resets the click context.

It remembers where the user wants to go and navigates them to the right destination once they\u2019ve downloaded the app and it opens.

The main difference is whether the app is already installed on the device or not. Most campaigns need both, because UA managers rarely know in advance if a user already has the app downloaded or not.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn more about these differences in the <\/span><a href=\"\/glossary\/deep-link\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">deep link<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> glossary entry.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>When Do You Use Deferred Deep Linking?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should use deferred deep linking any time the destination is important after an install. Some common examples include:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Product or offer ads<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: send users to the item, plan, or discount they clicked on.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Game events and rewards:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> take new players straight to a featured event, season pass, or starter bundle.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Influencer and partner campaigns: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">route users to an onboarding flow that matches the creator or partner who sent them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Referrals: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">open the app on the screen where the referral reward is active.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reinstall retargeting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">capture a lapsed user who deleted the app back to the offer in your retargeting ad.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main goal isn\u2019t only an install, but rather a first session that feels like a continuation of the served ad. This is what usually drives Day 1 retention and early revenue.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>How Tenjin Supports Deferred Deep Linking\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add a deep_url parameter to any Tenjin tracking link:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>https:\/\/track.tenjin.io\/v0\/network\/campaignid?...&amp;deeplink_url=mygame:\/\/seasonpass<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a user clicks in the link and installs, the<\/span><b> Tenjin SDK <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">retrieves the value from Tenjin\u2019s servers and returns it as deferred_deeplink_url from the deep link callback. The callback also includes campaign ID and name, and a flag showing for whether the use came through a Tenjin link.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your app development team determines what each value means, so routing logic stays within your app. Deferred deep linking is supported in Tenjin iOS, Android, Unity, and Flutter SDKs.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information about setup steps, see <\/span><b>How to Set Up Deferred Deep Linking.\u00a0<\/b>\r\n<h3><b>Things to Plan For<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Set a default route<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organic installs and installs not attributed to a Tenjin link won\u2019t be able to return a destination.

To see whether a deferred deep linking campaign is working you\u2019ll need to measure what users do once they land in &lt;our app. Depending on your goal, track:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Onboarding or tutorial completion<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engagement with the linked feature, event, or content<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purchases and subscription starts<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ad revenue<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Day 1 and Day 7 retention<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ROAS by campaign<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comparing these outcomes with the campaigns that send users to default home screen shows how much the matched first experience is actually worth.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Related Terms<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/deep-link\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deep Link<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/attribution\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attribution<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/attribution-window\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attribution Window<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/conversion\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conversion<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/cohort-analysis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cohort Analysis<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/re-engagement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Re-engagement<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<strong>What is deferred deep linking?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deferred deep linking keeps a user\u2019s intended in-app destination when they need to install the app first, and routes them there on first open.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s the difference between a deep link and a deferred deep link?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A deep link opens an app that\u2019s already installed. A deferred deep link carries the destination through the App Store or Google Play and delivers it after the install.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>Does deferred deep linking work on iOS and Android?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. The flow is the same on both platforms: the destination is saved at the click and retrieved by the app\u2019s SDK on first open. Test on both, since store and browser behavior differs.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>Can I use deferred deep linking for retargeting campaigns?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. If a retargeting ad reaches a user who has deleted the app, a deferred deep link keeps the destination through the reinstall, so the user returns to the offer in the ad.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>What replaced Firebase Dynamic Links for deferred deep linking?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Google shut down Firebase Dynamic Links on August 25, 2025. Most teams now use their MMP\u2019s tracking links for deferred deep linking, with Universal Links and App Links for users who already have the app.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>How does Tenjin support deferred deep linking?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add a <\/span><strong>deeplink_url<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> value to a Tenjin tracking link. After an install through that link, the Tenjin SDK passes it to your app as <\/span><strong>deferred_deeplink_url<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>,<\/strong> and your app routes the user to the right screen.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"]},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is Deferred Deep Linking?

Most campaigns need both, because UA managers rarely know in advance if a user already has the app downloaded or not.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can learn more about these differences in the <\/span><a href=\"\/glossary\/deep-link\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">deep link<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> glossary entry.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>When Do You Use Deferred Deep Linking?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should use deferred deep linking any time the destination is important after an install. Some common examples include:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Product or offer ads<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: send users to the item, plan, or discount they clicked on.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Game events and rewards:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> take new players straight to a featured event, season pass, or starter bundle.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Influencer and partner campaigns: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">route users to an onboarding flow that matches the creator or partner who sent them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Referrals: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">open the app on the screen where the referral reward is active.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Reinstall retargeting: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">capture a lapsed user who deleted the app back to the offer in your retargeting ad.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main goal isn\u2019t only an install, but rather a first session that feels like a continuation of the served ad. This is what usually drives Day 1 retention and early revenue.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>How Tenjin Supports Deferred Deep Linking\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add a deep_url parameter to any Tenjin tracking link:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<strong>https:\/\/track.tenjin.io\/v0\/network\/campaignid?...&amp;deeplink_url=mygame:\/\/seasonpass<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a user clicks in the link and installs, the<\/span><b> Tenjin SDK <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">retrieves the value from Tenjin\u2019s servers and returns it as deferred_deeplink_url from the deep link callback. The callback also includes campaign ID and name, and a flag showing for whether the use came through a Tenjin link.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your app development team determines what each value means, so routing logic stays within your app. Deferred deep linking is supported in Tenjin iOS, Android, Unity, and Flutter SDKs.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information about setup steps, see <\/span><b>How to Set Up Deferred Deep Linking.\u00a0<\/b>\r\n<h3><b>Things to Plan For<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Set a default route<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\r\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organic installs and installs not attributed to a Tenjin link won\u2019t be able to return a destination.

To see whether a deferred deep linking campaign is working you\u2019ll need to measure what users do once they land in &lt;our app. Depending on your goal, track:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Onboarding or tutorial completion<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engagement with the linked feature, event, or content<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Purchases and subscription starts<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ad revenue<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Day 1 and Day 7 retention<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ROAS by campaign<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comparing these outcomes with the campaigns that send users to default home screen shows how much the matched first experience is actually worth.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Related Terms<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/deep-link\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deep Link<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/attribution\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attribution<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/attribution-window\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Attribution Window<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/conversion\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conversion<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/cohort-analysis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cohort Analysis<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/glossary\/re-engagement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Re-engagement<\/span><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<strong>What is deferred deep linking?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deferred deep linking keeps a user\u2019s intended in-app destination when they need to install the app first, and routes them there on first open.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>What\u2019s the difference between a deep link and a deferred deep link?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A deep link opens an app that\u2019s already installed. A deferred deep link carries the destination through the App Store or Google Play and delivers it after the install.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>Does deferred deep linking work on iOS and Android?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. The flow is the same on both platforms: the destination is saved at the click and retrieved by the app\u2019s SDK on first open. Test on both, since store and browser behavior differs.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>Can I use deferred deep linking for retargeting campaigns?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. If a retargeting ad reaches a user who has deleted the app, a deferred deep link keeps the destination through the reinstall, so the user returns to the offer in the ad.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>What replaced Firebase Dynamic Links for deferred deep linking?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Google shut down Firebase Dynamic Links on August 25, 2025. Most teams now use their MMP\u2019s tracking links for deferred deep linking, with Universal Links and App Links for users who already have the app.<\/span>\r\n<h4><strong>How does Tenjin support deferred deep linking?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add a <\/span><strong>deeplink_url<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> value to a Tenjin tracking link. After an install through that link, the Tenjin SDK passes it to your app as <\/span><strong>deferred_deeplink_url<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>,<\/strong> and your app routes the user to the right screen.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossaries\/283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossaries"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/glossaries"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenjin.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs?glossaries=283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
