Singular Links
* Rolled out to clients as of 01.08.19
Singular Links are tracking links that automatically leverage Android intent technology to create deep links.
In order to make your Singular Links Dynamic, a certain variable (parameter) should be appended to the link. In most cases, clients should simply add &_p={product_id} to their tracking link. Nonetheless, we encourage clients to consult internally on the topic of their redirect method, the exact placement of the variable (e.g. {product_id} or other) as well as the path parameter, &_dl={asdf}.
That being said, we advise to ensure the following:
- The path to the exact landing page is placed behind the _dl= parameter.
- The exact same path is also placed behind the _ddl= parameter, which ensures that in a deferred deep linking scenario, your user is nevertheless forwarded to the correct location.
Please be advised: In case you have the option of creating both Legacy Links and Singular Links, please provide Remerge with both, as Remerge benefits from a variety of options.
