    Follow the steps below to convert your Firebase Dynamic Links to Airbridge tracking links.

    1. Download your Firebase Dynamic Links as a CSV file. Refer to this article from Firebase.

    2. Create a copy of the Airbridge Tracking Link Migrator Template (Firebase). The new copy will be saved in your Google Drive. You'll need to be logged in to your Google account.

    3. In the [Required Info] sheet tab, enter the URI Scheme as the scheme value in B5. The URI Scheme can be found on the [Tracking Link]>[Deep Links] page in the Airbridge dashboard.

    4. Copy the values from the CSV file of the Firebase Dynamic Links you downloaded in Step 1 and paste them into columns A to AC into the [Enter Dynamic Links] sheet tab of the Migrator Template.

    Attention

    Copy the metadata of the Firebase Dynamic Links you want to convert to Airbridge tracking links from the first to the last column in full.

    Paste the copied values into the [Enter Dynamic Links] sheet tab.

    5. Click the [Parameter Mapping Result] sheet tab. You can see the Firebase Dynamic Links metadata mapped to Airbridge tracking link parameters. Check whether the mapping is done as intended. If you feel the need to edit, you can do so directly on the sheet.

    6. Now, create a copy of the Airbridge Tracking Link Generator Template (DeepLink Plan). In the [Required Info] sheet tab, enter the App Name and the Tracking Link API Token, which can be found on the [Settings]>[Tokens] page in the Airbridge dashboard.

    Then, install the Airbridge Tracking Link Generator following the steps outlined below.

    7. Go back to the Migrator Template. Click the [Parameter Mapping Result] sheet tab and copy the values from columns N to AD. Then, paste them into the [Create Tracking Links] sheet tab from column A in the Generator Template. Make sure the fields align.

    Attention

    When you paste the mapping result into the Generator Template, make sure you copy only the values. Follow the instructions below.

    • Right-click on your mouse and select [Paste Special]>[Values only].

    • USe command + shift + V (Mac) or control + shift + V (Windows).

    8. Select [Extensions]>[Airbridge Tracking Link Generator]>[Generate Tracking Links] from the top menu bar to create tracking links.

    If the Generate Tracking Links button is not visible in your Generator Template or the tracking links are not generated properly, we recommend refreshing the Template or reinstalling the Airbridge Tracking Link Generator.

    3. Data collection

    Once you've completed the steps above, we recommend waiting for 1 to 2 days for Airbridge to collect enough campaign data.
