Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I deep link from social media to my app?

To deep link from social media to your app, add a Branch Link to your post, bio, or creator content. When someone taps it, Branch opens the matching content in your app if it’s installed, or routes them to the app store and then to that content after install if it isn’t.

Can I use my own domain for social links?

Yes, Branch lets you create short, branded social links on your own domain, so every link looks like a natural extension of your brand. Recognizable links also build trust with people deciding whether to tap.

How does Branch measure social-to-app performance?

Branch measures social-to-app performance by attributing installs, opens, and downstream conversions to each social link, then deduplicating across web, app, connected TV (CTV), and desktop. 

Do Branch links work on TikTok, Instagram, and other social platforms?

Yes, Branch links work across organic social platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat, X, and Pinterest. Branch handles each platform’s in-app browser behavior so users land on the right destination.

How do I track which creators drive app installs?

Branch tracks creator performance by giving each creator, influencer, post, or campaign its own unique link. Every click ties back to the installs, engagement, and revenue it produced, so you can see which creators are worth more investment.
