How to direct users to a page on your website or app?

Batch allows you to send a push notification that includes a deeplink.

A deeplink is a link that allows you to direct users to a specific location in your app or to a specific page on your website.

Prerequisites for mobile deeplinks

Having a pre-existing deeplink structure

Deeplinks can have several formats:

• HTTPS URLs: https://exemple.com/path/to/content

• Custom URL schemes: example://path/to/content

If you want to direct your user inside your application, you must have a pre-existing deeplink structure in your app before being able to direct users to a specific place in your application.

By default, Batch will open the “home” of your app if you don't have any deeplink on your campaign.

If you want more information on how to implement deeplink in your application take a look at these some documentation here:

• iOS

• Android

iOS only: Adding support for Universal links

On iOS, Universal links allow you to connect to content deep inside your app using standard HTTP or HTTPS links (see documentation on the Apple Developper website).

As universal links cannot be opened from within an app that supports them using UIApplication.openURL, you will need to declare your Universal links domains to Batch to open then inside of your app.

Adding a deeplink

By default, Batch will redirect your users to the homepage of your website or your app. If you wish to redirect your users to a particular page on your website or in your app, you can include a deeplink directly from the message editor.

You can also direct your users to an external page, such as independent landing pages or even social networking sites!

Tracking your campaign

You can easily collect your Batch campaign opens by creating the parameters related to your campaign in your analytics tool (AT Internet, Google Analytics, etc.) and then adding them to the deeplink of your push campaign.
