Tracking Link

An Airbridge tracking link is an all-in-one link that serves as both a linking tool to redirect users and a tracking tool for attribution.

When they are clicked on, tracking links enable users to reach their desired destination in the app regardless of the platform, channel, or device operating system. It also helps to analyze and attribute the source of user conversions such as link click, post-click install, and post-install purchase.
