In this playbook, we’ll walk you through how to keep users on your product page on the web after dropping off from the initial deep link destination. By simply adding a parameter to the tracking link you create in Airbridge, you can keep users engaged in an external webpage for a longer period of time and maximize the likelihood of conversion.

​
How the user path will look like

​
For users who don’t have your app

When users click the tracking link set as a deep link, they are initially redirected to the app store page where they can install your app. When a user installs and opens the app: The user is redirected to the in-app page set as the deep link destination. If this user drops off from the app, the browser from which the user clicked the tracking link will show the same product page as the in-app page, keeping the user engaged once again. When the user doesn’t install the app and drops off from the app store page: The browser from which the user clicked the tracking link will show the same product page as the in-app page, keeping the user engaged once again.

For users who already have your app

When users click the tracking link set as a deep link, they are redirected to the in-app page set as the deep link destination. When a user drops off from the app, the browser from which the user clicked the tracking link will show the same product page as the in-app page, keeping the user engaged once again.

Limitation

Depending on the browser, the user must click the “Open” button in the “Open Page” before landing on the in-app product page, which may undermine the user experience as a whole.
