The App links allow you to direct your customers straight to a particular app (ex. YouTube, Facebook etc.) to view your content.

The practical application of this can be described with the following example:

  1. A YouTube influencer prompts the users to follow him/her on YouTube

  2. If the influencer creates a biolink Link block and pastes the channel URL, when the user clicks on the link, they will be redirected to the web browser.

  3. This scenario is not optimal to improve conversions, because if the user is not logged into their YouTube account in their phone web browser, they will not be able to follow the influencer. Please watch the video below.

Here's how to set up direct YouTube App links for iPhone and Android

  1. Log in to your EZBiolink account

  2. Tap on Create link

  3. Tap on the Shortened URL

  4. Paste the direct link to your YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Snapchat, Amazon affiliate product and many other supported sites at the top. At this moment, we support the following apps: Reddit, YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Pinterest, Linkedin, Twitch, Whats App, Facebook Messenger, Google Sheets, Netflix, Google Maps, Spotify, Airbnb, Amazon.

  5. Be sure to enter the Destination URL (your YT channel or Amazon store etc.) and then create a cool short link name in the Short URL field (you'lll be sharing this one online)

  6. Tap on App Linking below and it will open up the app linking option

  7. The app linking option will have all supported apps in it

  8. Tap on the Auto open app on mobile toggle to turn it on

  9. Scroll down and tap Update - this will save the progress and it will automatically detect the right supported app for your destination link.

  10. Verify all worked by quickly scrollin gup and seeing if there is a Matched icon next to the supported app. This is the app that will open when your short link is clicked on mobile! All done!

Important: Direct app linking is awesome, but it might not work every time. App companies keep changing this and some might stop working after a while. We are constantly workingn on updating our functionality to keep this functionality up and running smooth. If for some reason your app can't direct link, due to a change on the app's side, no worries, you r link will still work. It will just fall back to opening in the regular browser without opening the app. This way you will maintain your link operation at all times.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
