Branch.io Deep Linking

Implement enterprise deep linking and mobile attribution with Branch.io. Nativine embeds native Branch SDKs, enabling deferred deep links, cross-platform user acquisition loops, Universal Links (iOS), and App Links (Android).

1. Overview & Native Capabilities

Branch.io is the leading linking platform for mobile apps. Nativine's native integration ensures seamless routing even when users install your app for the first time:

• Deferred Deep Linking: Route users to specific web content or promotion pages immediately after installing your app from the App Store or Play Store.
• Universal Links & App Links: Seamlessly open your native app when users click HTTPS web URLs on social media or email.
• Referral & Share Loops: Generate trackable short links programmatically to reward users for inviting friends.
