What are deep links and app opening?
App opening attempts to take a visitor into a supported app rather than leaving them in a browser.

Step by step
Use a supported destination
Open Smart Links → Create Link and paste a destination URL from the app or platform you want to open.
Review the target app
The form detects many platforms from the URL. Check the target-app selection and change it if the detected app is wrong.
Create the short URL
Select Create Smart Link and copy the resulting short URL rather than the original destination.
Test both outcomes
Open the short URL on a phone with the target app installed, then in a browser or device without it. App opening depends on device and platform behavior; the web destination is the fallback.
Good to know
App behavior depends on the visitor's device, installed apps, and platform rules.
