Deferred deep linking and install attribution: people who install from your smart app link land on the right screen on first open.

10 min · 5 steps

  1. 1

    Be on Business or higher

    Deferred deep linking, install attribution and the API are included with Business and Enterprise.

  2. 2

    Create an app key

    Open Apps & API, choose App key — mobile app, give it a name and click Create key. Copy it now — it's shown once.

  3. 3

    Call AXO on first launch

    When your app opens for the first time, send one request to POST https://axo.nz/api/public/v1/deferred/match with the app key, a random install ID, the platform and OS version. On Android, include the Google Play install referrer.

  4. 4

    Open the returned screen

    If the response says matched: true, send the user to the deep_link it returns.

  5. 5

    Send in-app events (optional)

    Report sign-ups or purchases with POST https://axo.nz/api/public/v1/events to see them per link.

Good to know

  • Google Play installs are matched exactly. iPhone, AppGallery and Galaxy Store installs are estimated from network, phone type and OS version within 2 hours.
  • Mention AXO install attribution in your app's privacy policy and follow each app store's rules.
